Summary
Edwin sighed and unfolded his hands to push his hair back. “I suppose this was inevitable,” he allowed.
Charles beamed. “That’s the spirit. Look at it this way — you’ve never been to a house party before, and here’s one that’s right up your alley!”
“Ominous and full of peril?” Edwin asked sardonically.
“Exactly!” Charles agreed. “This way you get to go to a party you’ll actually like, because it’s actually a mystery. And once you solve the mystery, the party ends. I couldn’t have thrown you a better one myself.”Series

Summary
Charles tried to pay attention, because Edwin was really upset, and Charles still didn’t understand why, and it seemed like this might be important. It was just, they’d been at this for a while, and Edwin kept asking him the same questions and not leaving him time to answer, so. His mind may have wandered a bit to how he would reinforce the next cricket bat.
His attention snapped back to the present when Edwin said, “This can’t happen. You can’t risk this, I can’t be the reason you risk it. You have to move on.”
“Move on?” Charles repeated blankly. “Move on from what?”
“From here, Charles!” Edwin shouted, suddenly furious again, suddenly shouting even though his eyes were filled with tears. “You have to go with Death! You have to leave!”
“I don’t want to go with Her,” Charles said, nonplussed.
“Fine, that’s your business, but you can’t keep hanging around me!” Edwin snapped.
Charles’ world suddenly tilted on its axis, sending everything askew. “I can’t?” he asked, his voice small, his heart wide open and exposed.Series

Summary
The boys have very different reactions to learning about each other's scars.
Edwin:
The scars make up everything Charles was before, everything he is today, as intrinsically linked to him as his cricket bat, and because of that, Edwin treats them as if they’re sacred.Charles:
Charles quickly learns that he hates Edwin’s scars because not a single one of them was caused by Edwin himself; every scar on his body was caused by someone who wanted to hurt him intentionally and that alone is enough to make him feel like he’s swallowed glass.Bookmarked by BeautifulPeople

Someone is hurting Charles. He’s in trouble, and for some indiscernible reason, he doesn’t trust Edwin to help.
**
Edwin launches an investigation into the Very Suspicious and Clearly Dangerous secret that Charles is hiding. He is extremely normal about it.
