Schematic view of the light curves in our scenario for a BH with a mass of MBH = 106M⊙. The red and green curves represent the MeV gamma-ray emission from magnetic reconnection near the BH and the X-ray prompt emission from the jet, respectively. Both components decay as t−5/3 because their luminosities scale as ﹩{B}^{2}\propto \dot{M}\propto {t}^{-5/3}﹩. The prompt emission is expected to occur approximately rem/c after plasma injection begins (see Equation (1)).
