Moonlight spills across the floorboards, painting a scene of quiet, frantic grief. The heavy wardrobe door stands open, its interior stripped of coats and linens. Inside, Edmund Pevensie kneels on the cold wood, his small frame trembling. His fists beat a muffled, rhythmic protest against the back panel, each impact a punctuation mark of despair. Tears trace paths through the dust on his cheeks. He leans his forehead against the unyielding surface, his whispers raw and broken, pleading with a world that has sealed its gates. The air hangs thick with his longing, the night's silence fractured only by his ragged breath and the hollow percussion of his grief against the barrier that now separates him from Narnia.
