On Wings of Song/Part Three
UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Summary
On his own in New York City for years, with Boa still in a coma, Daniel lives as a hustler—under a false name, not wanting to be tracked down by Grandison. Social and economic turmoil make it hard to survive in the city without wealthy friends; Daniel is helped by Boa's aunt, who keeps his secret and finds him a home with the eccentric Mrs. Schiff, but he runs out of options and signs himself over to a humiliating life with a sugar daddy, the great singer Ernesto Rey. With Rey's help, he finally becomes a singer, but still can't manage to fly. When Boa unexpectedly returns to her body, Grandison finds them, bringing media attention that accelerates Daniel's career. Boa leaves the world behind for good. Daniel debuts his greatest performance, during which he will either fly or pretend to fly; we'll never know which, as death comes for him in the form of his insane high-school social studies teacher.
