The spots slide down the wall and coalesce into a puddle when they reach the floor. As if directed, this puddle moves towards Sarah. Sarah makes hurried notes before jumping up on a chair. When the puddle reaches her chair, it forms vertical tendrils and climbs up the chair's legs. Music by Chip Michael
