Summary
"Can hardly feel these little scrapes," Charles says.
Edwin doubts that very much, especially considering the smoke that continues wafting from the wound, but it hardly matters. He'll stay like this, bound by his desire to keep Charles safe and easy in his mouth, a distraction and a balm until Charles's body is once again free from pain.

Summary
Heathrow Airport, Edwin quickly decided, was an ungodly conglomeration of noise, people, and general mayhem. He hated it.
Charles, of course, was in his element. He spun across the walkway, deftly navigating through the crowds, and pointed gleefully at various items in the few shops lining the path outside of security. Edwin was certain his glee would only increase once they made it into the terminal proper.- Language:

Summary
One of the girls Charles is supposed to be dating in the game has this boyfriend. He’s clearly supposed to be an antagonist, you’re supposed to tell the girl she deserves better and eventually beat the guy up, or something. He’s snappy and condescending and so forth, designed to get on the player’s nerves so you don’t feel bad about stealing his girl and do feel the urge to make the girl like you by going after him.
It’s pretty obvious Charles is supposed to hate him, but the thing is, he’s the only character in the game whose lines are actually funny.

Summary
It’s been three days, and Charles Rowland is dying.
“Will you stop squirming, you little menace,” says Edwin, exasperated. “I’m going to miss your femoral artery and then you’ll be sorry.”
Charles grins. “Oops,” he says. He’s a featherlight, endorphin-flooded creature. It’s hard to feel too sorry. It’s hard to believe that anything bad is ever going to happen again. “Guess you’ll just have to do it again, then, won’t you?”
Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne, then and now.
