Purple Summers remembered an incident from the past. Not long after her rebirth, she had learned from Zack Wallace's lips that the Howard Family had a great-uncle who infuriated Alexander Summers. Alexander had wiped out the man's whole family, sparing only a baby in swaddling clothes.
Thinking back now, that family was probably what they called the second great-uncle...
...
Alexander led Purple Summers out of the torture chamber, the two of them not speaking a word along the way.
While getting into the car, Alexander received a call from Atra Blanc.
Atra asked if Alexander had found his sister. He replied that he had, comforting his mother by saying that Purple Summers was out shopping with classmates and her phone had died, which was why she couldn't call, and they were now preparing to head home.
Sitting silently in the car, Purple listened to Alexander spout lies effortlessly and suddenly envied Atra greatly.
