An accident of Freddy’s Free Fall ride at Ruby pier took away the life of Eddie on his 83rd birthday, while trying to rescue a little girl from an accident. He then feels two little hands as everything goes blank around him.

This car nearly came to a stop, and Eddie was left frightened, but still continued to run back and resume playing with the ball. But he did not find out the mystery of the driver behind the wheel of this car, until he met the Blue Man in heaven, which was his first person. Eddie then experiences the perspective of the driver, who was the Blue Man himself. It turns out that the car kept going after the incident, and hit a parked truck. The Blue Man started bleeding from the forehead and then had a “heart attack”. When Eddie turned eight, he was forced to a funeral he did not want to attend, nor knew who it was for.
