Blade flies to Ghana while listening to the CD that Storm made for him that includes bands like Metallica—not Blade’s usual choice of music, but he gets caught up in their energy. When Blade falls asleep, he dreams again of his mother silently cutting a cookie, this time with slight variations: Chapel is in the dream, wearing a shirt with SB on it and laughing or crying. Rutherford starts the word game then disappears. Chapel guesses the meaning behind SB, then also disappears. A big red spider charges at Blade, his mom whispers “run” so he runs toward a ledge to his mother, but before jumps, he hears someone asking him to change the music. He looks beside him and sees Sunny. Confused, Blade asks her if she is real. She asks Blade where he is going and what he is looking for. She tells him that he needs to help Rutherford and asks whether he has figured out who the spider is. Blade replies that it’s Chapel, but Sunny rejects his answer and tells him to stop running, confusing Blade further. She is always telling him to “run,” so she explains: “Run toward, not away […] Wake up Blade.
