GNU Style for me.

 OP didn't properly characterize GNU style.
 GNU style is actually something like this:
    if (flag)
     {
        switch (state)
          {
            case 42:
              {
                 state = 73;
                 break;
              }
          }
      }
    else
      {
        statement;
      }

This puts me in mind of trying to find the meat in a thin soup!
15 lines here, but in my personal syntax, it would be 8, and in Python style, it might be only 6.
If I wrote it as C, I think it would be 10 lines (for example, it needs 'break').
There are actually only two lines here that do anything.
