   Summary

   In their attempts to rescue Niko from the Astral Plane, Edwin, Charles, and Crystal accidentally summon a second Charles Rowland from another universe.

   Charles never gave much thought to whether he'd get along with an alternate universe version of himself. Technically, he should, this Charles was just like him: funny, clever, kind - a dead boy detective.

   Except, this second version of Charles doesn't seem to know how to keep his bloody hands to himself, and off of Edwin.
