Daniel’s blurs have all but disappeared, so he’s getting back into his normal routine. With football season now over, Daniel’s playing basketball.

Then later when on his way to a basketball game, he has another blur….and then another during his basketball game. In his blur he sees a child at a bard and hears her say “Madeline is waiting for you, Daniel”. The child’s nightgown then bursts into flames, leaving behind a blackened corpse.
