He re-enters at the bottom right leaving the letters "R U N N E R" from right to left, then runs off the left side of the screen. Appearing slightly larger from the left, he runs across the middle of the screen, causing the words "HOMESTAR" and "RUNNER" to scatter. He leaves his logo behind as he runs. The star from the logo elongates itself into a star-shaped tunnel, alternating in red, white and blue.
