Summary
One tick Edwin’s disappearing into the mirror, Charles close behind, when something catches his eye right before he’s about to step in; a store advertising their supply of tea imported from India, the very same brand his mother used to make. The kitchen always smelled warm with the samosas she fried alongside it on special occasions when his father wasn’t home.
The memory latches so strongly onto Charles’ mind that when he steps out of the mirror, it’s not into the Agency.

Summary
“Makes sense. They’re all afraid of death. ‘Course they’d make her sound terrifying as well.” A beat. They continue walking. “But she isn’t. Did you feel it?”

(Charles has.)

Summary
“I have a gift for you.”
Charles bolted up from where he’d been lounging across the stretch of their – now-expanded – couch. “Oh no, did I forget something? Shit, is it like an anniversary ‘cause I swear I would’ve remembered.”
“No, Charles. This is of my own volition,” Edwin soothed, coming around the desk with a wrapped boxy rectangular package held gingerly. Charles scooted over, and Edwin sat down beside him, their legs resting comfortably next to each other. “You are always gifting me things, so I thought I might return the favour.”

Summary
There is a part of Edwin that he keeps hidden between the bedframe and mattress. It is paper and ink and Edwin’s imagination tampered down and shoved out of view whenever Edwin's classmates get too rowdy.
