Daniel had been contemplating whether or not he wanted to attend Professor DeVries' light festival. This would be an excellent time to investigate the markings on the wall on the fourth floor and determine the source of the strange scratching sounds. But he'd seen horror movies before, and people who went to investigate alone typically met with a terrible fate. And because he wasn't THAT foolish, he opted to go to the Light Festival instead. He'd have time later, maybe he'd ask Lisa to come with him.

Even Daniel, who normally did not care about such things, had to admit that the area near the greenhouses was beautifully decorated. The best part, though, was that there was food.

Before heading to the tables where the refreshments were set up, he took off his long coat and scarf and hung them on one of the floating branches. He grabbed a mug of hot cocoa and a doughnut before standing somewhere alone, admiring the rainbow-coloured light beams that illuminated Greenhouse Five.
