In this chapter, we learn that the eight weapons mentioned in ancient texts are actually weapons that exist in this world. The government and the outlaws have been trying to find these weapons for a long time, but they have been labeled as outlaws by the World Council. The people of the world will do whatever they can to get their hands on these weapons. It's only by smiling that they can keep hope alive. The only way to do this, the narrator tells us, is to always bring a smile to everyone he or she meets. Grampa says that he can bet on this, and that's all he can ask for. They'll have to wait a while, he says, but then they'll be able to spend some of their "hard earned" grin cash on a drink. He's not sure what she's talking about, but she seems to be pointing out that old thing that she used to ink people with. He says he's glad everything went exactly as he planned, but that he has to ask elle for the bracelet that gives him the snap-on gauntlet. He wants to know what the heck is going on, but he can't figure out what's going on. The glow gang is there, and they're using a drone to track them down. The bracelet gives elle the power to choose what she wants to do with her life, and she can do whatever she wants with it. She's been labeled a "criminal" and a "known criminal" when she took the gauntlet over the years ago, but now that she has the power, she can go anywhere she wants. She doesn't know what to do about it, she says, because it's a secret. She says she'll tell elle what happened to her when she stole the gauntlet from the gang, and he'll show her who's the boss of the gang.
