Summary
"Hold on, you think I'd turn?" Charles demands.
"Every ghost has a unique trigger, and I can't say I wasn't a little concerned on a few occasions in Port Townsend. Then, with that same look in your eyes just now…"
Edwin isn't wrong; it's not like Charles hadn't been thinking the same thing. But he shakes his head and attempts a comforting grin--Edwin's got too much on his plate to waste time worrying about the one person who's supposed to look out for him. "Don't worry, mate, I'm aces.

-OR-
All ghosts are capable of turning vengeful. When their quarry is revealed to be a demon from Edwin's past, Charles and Edwin learn something important about their own personal triggers.

"Well get on with it, then," Charles says bluntly, crossing his arms.
-OR-
During Edwin and Charles' next encounter with the doll-head spider, the latter is awakened to an enticing new possibility...
