    Summary

    They say darkness abides in one’s soul more than others, just as light. That it’s what drives us, it’s what influences our decisions, it’s what makes us who we are.

    Edmund has always had a darkness within him, his mother seen it. She tried to protect him, and his siblings from the horrors that were just outside their window.

    She thought it was the war that had changed him, had made him cold, and so guarded, but it had always been inside him she had planted it there the darkness before he was even born.
