Purple Summers helped Atra Blanc pack up, little by little each day, like ants moving house, until finally, all the things that needed to be packed were done.
Thus, they only waited for Dylan Summers's 49-day mourning period to end.
—The 49 days, or forty-nine days, is almost a month and a half. According to Clearwater tradition, after a relative passes away, incense is burned and paper offerings are made every seven days until the 49th day.
Purple Summers counted the days, sighing to herself, "I can finally leave this place of strife, The Summers Family."
In late February, Jane McCain had a small gathering at home and invited Purple Summers and Zara Jameson to play.
Jane's mother had already arranged for her to go to a design school abroad, and Jane would not return for at least three or four years. From then on, meeting up would become much harder as they would be worlds apart.
