I Just Had A Realisation.

I just had a realisation.

In the Payne/Rowland file the Night Nurse has, it says that Edwin died around noon (1:00 pm), and not at night, I mean, when the satanic ritual was performed. Does that mean that Saal took him to hell alive?

There was no blood covering his face when he took him, but Edwin tells Charles "this is the last me" when he asks about it. So are you telling me he died in hell?

His disappearance was label an act from God, that means he was gone, they never found a body, probably his grave is empty (?). The demon he was sacrificed to, took him to hell and he died there, being torture, and it wasn't fast.

And... that was the last him?

Something about the Devlin house being a cesspit of old anger and pain.

Something about Charles laughing off the way his father smashed his cassette with a hammer.

Something about Crystal, who almost breaks the cassette in the Devlin house's hidden room with a hammer, nearly destroying Charles by accident.

Something about Charles, who always smiles to make others happy, even when he's hurting.

Something about Crystal, who's asked to think happy thoughts for the sake of getting them all out in one piece, and can't.

Something about how Charles cries when he reads the diary passage about walking on eggshells, reminded of his own father.

Something about how Crystal lashes out later, telling Charles he's made the people he cares about the most have to walk on eggshells, too.

Something about Crystal and Charles, with their mirrored worries about how people will view them if they see what lies under the surface.

Something about Crystal projecting her own fears, hard, and hurting both herself and Charles in the process.

it’s canon TO ME!!!

The Cat King: You really do push all my buttons, Edwin.

Edwin: I was looking for mute.

This was literally all I could think during that scene.
