   Summary

   It seemed their pasts would always haunt them no matter how fast or how far they ran, waiting at every corner to push them back to the ground. Unlearning one's past will never be an easy fit, so when anger clouds Charles’ judgement and sorrow rips Edwin's chest apart they are bloody glad to have each other to fall back into.

   Or: A particular case, which reminds them all too much of their own painful experiences, forces the two ghosts to face their past. It’s not a pretty sight but luckily they have each other to hold tight onto until they get to the other side.
