Summary
(To be clear, while Edwin will insist to - well, not his dying day seeing as he’s already dead - the end of his existence that whatever it is that happened that day - which is nothing, Charles! - was the dog’s fault.
This is not fair. What Edwin did was his choice and his choice alone. )
The Infamous Puppy Debacle of '94
Or: cannibalism (?) as a metaphor (?) for love (?)

Summary
"You’re right about me feeling a lot of feelings about the whole situation. Andrew tried to do right by me. Was it too late for all of that? Maybe. But it means something to me that he was going to try.”
Charles bites his lip, searching for words. “And it means something to me that someone wanted to stop him. They got away with killing me thirty years ago. You’re not going to let them get away with doing that to me again, are you?”
Instead of submitting his confession for murdering Charles Rowland 35 years ago, Andrew Fairfax has to drag his soul out the lake of St. Hilarion with no memory of who exactly choked these bruises into his neck but he's got a list of suspects and a pretty good idea of their motives. It seems like he's going to need the help of a couple of detectives to connect the dots.
(Or: Charles is having a lot of feelings that he's definitely going to unpack later. Promise. Edwin goes a little bit insane and he's hiding it so, so well. Crystal sees some stuff she'd rather she didn't. And, honestly, Niko has had better weeks. )

Summary
Mr. Pryce has a strong handshake, which Edwin can appreciate. “Mr. Von Hoverkraft.”
“Mr. Von Hoverkraft is my father.” Edwin makes no attempt at an American accent. This was a battle Crystal had given up on very quickly. “Please, call me Edwin.”
I am killing you in my mind, Crystal’s voice says in his head. I am throwing rocks at you and stabbing you with sticks.
Or: Edwin is really invested in the girls' education so he and Charles go to their parent-teacher conference disguised as their parents. Surely this won't awaken any unresolved feelings regarding their actual parents, right?
