Caption: Figure 5.

Light curve from Figure 4 plotted as relative flux above the model of background accretion variability. The red curve displays the classical flare template of Davenport et al. (2014). Vertical red lines mark the beginning, peak, and end of the flare. The blue curve is a cubic spline fit to the classical flare-subtracted light curve. Vertical blue dashed lines mark the beginning, peak, and end of the gradual flare. The bottom panel presents the residuals from model subtraction. Horizontal gray dashed lines in both panels mark the standard deviation of data devoid of flares after subtraction of the accretion model.
