"I like to play newer songs for them." he explained.

"It's okay... traditions in my family to the dead are more or less the same. We sing in El Dia de los Muertos and offer them food and flowers and cheer them up with music. People dance and we have candies... Sort of like Halloween."

"And, it's around that time, right? I've heard of it." he nodded. "This is my own sort of tradition, I guess. I refused to visit, at first, because I knew they weren't really here. But, I still needed to talk to them on days like this. I play something every time I come. Something I know they never heard."

"You think that? huh..." Marina tilted her head. "Their spirit is with you and their physical bodies are here...becoming part of the land. Death is a circle of renewal. People their physical presence may not be here but they are still around." Mariana shook her head. "You know where their bodies are... Nana told me stories... it brings me confort that I can come and talk to her body and hopefully she can help me out." She looked up to the sky.

"I.. uh... I don't actually." he said. "Most people know my parents died, but few know how, since we didn't live here. Their plane crashed in the '82 blizzard, somewhere in the Rockies. Their graves are just markers, really."

"I see..." Mariana nodded. "Que descancen en Paz..." She made the catholic cross signs as she lowered her head in respect.

"I love my grandparents, but there are some things I don't feel comfortable talking to them about. So I come here." he smiled. "Like you said, I know their spirits are with me."

Mariana nodded. "Good... are you going to the game?"

"Yeah." he nodded. "Honestly, I've never had much interest in sports, but I think Richard needs the support. Will you be there?"

"Yeah... anything from keeping me from going home." Mariana sighed. She looked into her bag. "I need you to help me figure this thing out." The girl showed him the glowing stapler.

"Oh, you got the stapler." he looked it over. "It's hard to say. I know not all glowing things do the same thing. Hmmm...."

"I just got my mirror... so know little about these shiny things." She sighed.

"Mirror... I wonder...." He reached into his bag and pulled out a small hand mirror. It glowed. He held it so that they could see the reflection of the stapler. "I've never thought to try this."

The mirror reflected something different to a stapler. It looked like a weird misshapen flute.

"Well, that might explain why it was in the music room."

Mariana blinked a few times. "You have a glowing mirror too?" The girl was surprised. "What is it?"

"It took me a while to figure it out." he explained. "I knew it was special because of the glow, but I didn't understand why until last Halloween. I looked at it while I was making the finishing touches to my costume. But, I couldn't see it. I couldn't see the mask or the make-up. I only saw my true self."

"That's quite interesting." She was back to her normal self. "Now, I wonder what it will do."

"The stapler looks like some sort of flute. I'm not sure how you'd play a stapler, though."

"Um... no..." Mariana shook her head.
