David, still under Waknuk’s spell, wishes for his gift of telepathy to be gone, hating himself and then later accepting it and finding a new group to belong to. Catalysts are greatly important to one leaving or joining a group, as found as Sophie and Uncle Axel propel David into questioning his beliefs and then leaving to find a new family.
