422.1.a. Detaching affects only cards that are currently Attached to another card.

422.1.b. When one or more cards become Detached , they cease to be in the Attached state.
422.1.b.1. To represent this, these cards should no longer be placed under the card they were previously placed under as Top-Most Card.

422.4.b. If the Attached card was Detached because the Top-Most Card changed zones from a board zone to a non-board zone, then the location that the Attached Card will Detach to is the last location the Top-Most Card was at before changing from a board zone to a non-board zone.
