Yes, I keep the Witch's followers around merely to torture Edmund and trigger his PTSD. (And yes, I do believe he suffers from it.)
Susan is... well, Susan is rather special to me. I'm a HUGE apologist. And her whole character is my stories is to prove one thing: she did NOT willfully deny Narnia. So, how to go about that? There's a big difference between the Susan in LWW and PC, so something must have happened to her. And there's the bit at the end of LWW when she did NOT want to go past the lamp post. I truly think she was happy at the end of her reign in Narnia, but there's little indication in the beginning of LWW that she was. So, what's her journey? How did she lose her happiness in PC?
And so this story. And... well, the sequel which is well underway.
The Edmund scene got carried away. Ed was not only drunk—he was under the influence of the lasaia, too. My thinking is that he had a severe reaction of the combination, perhaps an allergy, which led to the "hallucinations" which were actual flashbacks. Flashbacks of the Witch, home, his mother... and yes, it's all very sad. For a brief moment he felt what Susan feels on a daily basis.
