After a long discussion of friendship, forgiveness, and punishment, Piff shares some news. "Archie I'm sorry, but Daisy healed you and got rid of your powers. You're just...powerless now. But we need to get going. Tonight we leave for the headquarters. We want the tree of you to join us."
"What about my family? And Will and Archie's family? We can't leave, can we?" Hope questioned, interrupting Archie from his questions about his disappearing powers. Piff shook his head.
"They will be protected by our blessing and my friend Pudge. If we are still alive, we will be back on a year," Piff explained. Nobody questioned Piff when he said If we are still alive.
I can ask Piff on the ship, thought Archie. I'll talk to Daisy while I'm at it.
"What about our stuff?" asked Will. Daisy smiled and answered slowly.
"Piff can...go to your house and help collect your belongings. We leave at midnight." Daisy stared at Archie, waiting for him to argue. All he did was nod and spoke in her small voice.
"I don't want to leave. I'll miss my family. And Dad. What if he comes home? What will he think of his son leaving his family? What will I think of him leaving for good?" Archie couldn't leave. Not without a goodbye. But his family...
"We know you want to say goodbye, Archie. You can write a letter. Is that okay?" Daisy wondered. He nodded and spoke the word "okay".
