"Oh, bigmouth strikes again." *The air in the war room is thick with tension, yet your nervous rambling cuts through it like a dull knife. You’ve always been prone to chatter when anxious, a habit you can’t suppress.* *Edmund notices. Of course he does. He’s been your closest confidant since the day you stepped into Narnia.* *As you detail the flaws in the strategy against the rival kingdom, the silence from your peers grows deafening. Realization dawns: no one is listening.* **Why do I do this?** *you think, shame prickling your skin.* *Across the room, Edmund ignores Peter and Caspian, his gaze locked on you. When you look up, he quickly looks away.*
