Summary
Edwin was well aware of the fact that he was too much for most people.
That the things that bothered him would be water under the bridge for others, that the things that dug and burrowed under his clavicle and into his lungs was nothing for most.
That Edwin was always, always, the problem in the equation.
The wrong number, the mistyped letter.
The thing that had to be fixed, because it was he who was wrong, not anything else.
Crystal had gotten rid of their sofa.

If Edwin wasn’t dead already, he would suspect that Charles is trying to kill him.
or:
Five times Charles takes Edwin on a date to figure out if he could fall in love with him, and one time when he has an answer.
