It was after “my uncle? But when…”
You’re fired > Shock at being fired > you’re uncle is back > Culprit for distress
If you put what Lil’A said in order it would be “my uncle? But when… but I…” and he got cut off before he slipped the “got rid of him”
Also I’m just reread it again to be refreshed the part in chapter 22 where there’s an unspecified voice telling lil’A that “if you promise to be a good boy, i’ll give it (K) to you as a present”
It could just be past A’s voice but whenever A shows up in little A’s head it’ll show buff Unc
MMMM MY BRAIN AND THEORIES SO GOOD.

OK SO-
My theory is that lil’a has a split personality with the goal to make little A happy.
And little A can only feel happy when he’s needed and helpful.
When A showed up it’s clearly shown (tho brief) he didn’t contact Lil’a to come help at the farm.
Alt’A did that (that’s what I’m calling him now) because the farm was the only place little happily reminisces about so alt’a… got rid of A… Because A know’s Alt’A exists (maybe just thinks it’s Lil’A.) It’s why he was isolated as a child and never went back to the farm until the events of ch.1.
And that fucking “but.. I” was short for “BUT I GOT RID OF HIM”
(Not sure if alt’a tried to kill A or just kidnapped him and hid him somewhere…)
Either way love it. Sooo damn good support it!
