She holds her breath without realizing it. This rotting place with its decaying sun…couldn't Digory feel it, that this was all somehow wrong?

A panic sets in. A fleeting thought that if she were only prettier then Digory would dote on her more, see her fear now, and they could leave, but…
It's too late. The bell is rung. It shatters her. An icicle tumbling to asphalt.
