I don’t know why Sid survived, by the way. Edmund never explained that to anyone.

Maybe it was a sign that Edmund was getting better. Stronger. More in control of it. That he was made more a god of freedom and less of a ravening beast.

Maybe it was a weird, perverse self-denial. Like, he wanted to eat Sid, and therefore did not.

Or maybe he just ate the worst part first, and when he was finished, he found that he couldn’t stomach eating anything more.
