Especially seeing as Karl seemed to care for her just as profoundly. I still don't get why anyone thinks he'd be so willing to put her in mortal danger.

I suppose to protect his "
one and only" loved one he went to extreme measures which were very harsh indeed. But then again I suppose he thought
Alex and
Karl were both too stupid and young to pay attenion to him, for example. Karl would not
intentionally put her in danger but accidental teenage pregancy is common - an obvious statement I know.
Not sure I would call what Ben did to Karl as "
torture", atleast from Ben's point of view. We never really found out what
Room 23 was for but debates indicated it was a '
brainwash/conditioning room' - that for all we know
everyone has spent time in. Karl was probably put in there for reasons
OTHER than Alex, possibly.
As nice as Karl was, he was a young man nonetheless and we all know what they are like.
