Personally I'd ask the C why he didn't tell her. Perhaps knowing would help in a similar way that being diagnosed with depression can help you recognize when it is "acting up" and allow you to step outside yourself and intellectualize it to deal with it. I may be all wrong as the nature of NPD may preclude that kind of introspection, but I'd at least ask the C.
Gone the carvings and those who left their mark. Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
