Phillip SevyGuestSo, um, we see him go home, visit his mom and sister.
They're really happy he's there.
And he calls the office and, um, he's like, Oh, what's going on? And, um, And Kayla, on the other end of the line, is like, you sound really weird.
And he's like, just call my mom's house if you need anything.
It's fine.
But he still can't figure out what's going on.
And then he has a dream where you see sort of his power bands and he's in flight.
But that's the only clue he has.

They're no help.
They're just like, we're happy you're here.
Thanks.
So we're setting up a mystery within the first few pages.
