I wonder why purple is so common with these stories? It wasn't even Archie's favourite colour, but he's at least the fourth kid who died where people grieve using that colour. About 15 years ago one local to me died and people hung purple ribbons everywhere, the family asked the council to decorate the town square Christmas tree in purple and they're STILL doing it after all this time. Although hilariously the "purple" lights they sourced don't even look purple, they're clearly pink. There are purple bows all over it though, just because some kid got knocked off his bike while wearing headphones and didn't hear/see the bus that was overtaking him when he randomly pulled out.
