For Edmund. Al was relieved to hear that Lucy and Peter were suspicious, at least. But he wanted to help.
Quietly, he laid out everything he knows. Everything he saw Kala involved in, in the 100 years before the Pevensies arrived. It wasn’t a short list, and he was careful to phrase things as neutrally and as fairly as he could.
Maybe she really was penitent and wanted the best for Edmund. But Al couldn’t look past the changes to his beloved. It was one thing to have left knowing Edmund was happy and content and doing well. But finding him like this, shredded and so unlike himself. He’d made a terrible mistake.

“Has he been this way the entire time I left?”
