The abbé’s words strike at the heart of memory.

He tells Caderousse that the good are rewarded and the wicked punished—but then presses with a question: did he once know a sailor named Edmond Dantès?

The reaction is immediate. Caderousse’s face flushes as he insists that Edmond was his close friend, his voice rising with urgency. “What has become of poor Edmond?” he demands. “Is he alive? Is he free? Is he happy?”

The priest does not yet answer. He only watches, calm and piercing, as the weight of the name begins to stir old truths.
