Not everyone who works in this dark tower stops to notice the rose in the lobby, but Terry stops every day. He loves it, just like he loves his uniform; he is in the service of something bigger. And although it's frightening, on some level he's excited by being a part of this. He's trusted, specially trusted by someone on the Board of Directors. His loyalty and special qualities have been recognized.
On his way out, at dawn, he salutes the rose, and he sleeps the sleep of the just that Christmas Eve.
