Interrogation

[Ellie's P.O.V]

"Children don't understand these things, and they frequently ask why they can't go outside. A little cajoling usually makes it pass. So, I pretended to tell you that Colin had disappeared. When you came to the Stowe Pack, Carlyle must have told you that Colin was forcibly taken, right?"

As Kaz spoke, he chuckled softly.

So, it turned out that the disappearance of the child was all an act directed and performed by Kaz himself. I had put in a lot of effort to help him find the child back then, and I even felt sympathy for that little child who had suddenly gone missing. He had deceived us with our sense of responsibility and sympathy. I gave him a disgruntled look, but it had been so long since then, and there was no point in holding him accountable now. I continued to listen to his story.

We already knew how Colin was taken. He voluntarily went along and later fabricated a lie.
