He's followed shortly after by two people in full, visored helmets and dark body armor: security, you guess, and are rewarded when one turns and reveals 'SECURITY' printed across their back. Gil's harness appears to be hitched to one of theirs, and he or she goes about undoing the carabiner while the other strides up to Casey and says something indecipherable. Casey claps them on the back. Gil is still face-down in the dirt, and stays that way until the carabiner guard bends down, says something in his ear, and undoes the zip-tie. The first thing Gil does, upon scrambling to his feet, is gesture rudely at the carabiner guard. The second thing he does is turn around and catch your gaze. He is dirty and weathered. His hair tie has slid. His shirt (his nice new shirt!) is splattered with paint, and you mistake the thing under his nose for paint too until you realize it's dried blood.
He looks you in the eye for a quarter second, then he winces and turns his head.
