Existence of an evilly normal kernel for sets with the evil twin property

From papers

Let A\mathscr{A} be a closed set of games with the evil twin property. A pair (A,K)(\mathscr{A},\mathscr{K}), where KA\mathscr{K}\subseteq\mathscr{A} is a kernel, is evilly normal if, for all A,BAA,B\in\mathscr{A}, A+BKA+B\notin\mathscr{K} if and only if AKA\notin\mathscr{K} and BKB\notin\mathscr{K}. The evilly normal kernel conjecture. If A\mathscr{A} has the evil twin property, then there exists a kernel K\mathscr{K} such that (A,K)(\mathscr{A},\mathscr{K}) is evilly normal. The conjecture generalizes the two properties of generalized flowers used in the preceding proof, asserting that the evil twin property alone guarantees the existence of a kernel with the corresponding normality condition.
