Not to be overly emotional about this but if you pause the night nurse beurocratic paperwork scenes, you'll find that the file is labeled "PAYNE/ROWLAND".
They have a shared file folder guys

I think Crystal would make a point of, at least once every few months, taking flowers to the graves of Edwin and Charles. Because she would never give them the flowers face to face and because she wants people to see their graves and now that they matter.

One of my favorite things about Dead Boy Detectives is when Edwin gets all lecture-y and serious and Charles is just staring at him like this

the devlin episode has so much fucking nuance, especially in the relationship between crystal and edwin
someone else has pointed out that edwin correcting himself from "I could lose Charles" to "we could lose Charles" is huge, yes. he realizes that while Charles is hugely important to him, charles is hugely important to Crystal too
and he's also confronted with the fact that crystal is important to Charles as well, since Charles told her something he'd never told Edwin. something about her + the devlin case + the break in their comfortable duo allowed him to open up. Edwin is forced to see her coming as a good thing.
over eps 2 and 3, he's also realized that she's smart and an asset to the agency outside of just being a medium. she has good instincts and skills, skills he and Charles don't have.
so while he still hasn't taken to her personally, he's grown to appreciate her more. nothing like working together to save your friend to really seal your own bond.
then, Edwin does something incredible: he admits he doesn't know something.
"I don't know how any of this works."
not a huge revelation, right? of course he doesn't know how to work a VCR. but. BUT. Charles JUST pointed out that Edwin gets snippy when he doesn't know something. we've seen him act out like that before (see, for example, how he deals with the whole bracelet situation, even though it's kind of his fault). so instead of being sassy and bitchy about it, he admits it simply. to Crystal, of all people. that's a level of vulnerability he hasn't allowed himself with her.
this episode is a turning point in their friendship and you can't change my mind

Simon was so desperate for Edwin's attention that he resorted to ritual sacrifice
Monty was ready to go against Ester to try to save Edwin even after he was turned back into a crow
Thomas (the cat king) got beaten to death because he refused to betray Edwin, then risked dying again to bring him a poisonous flower
Charles chose Edwin over a potentially peaceful and happy afterlife, stayed with him and protected him for thirty years then went through literal hell to find Edwin and fought to bring him back while promising to spend forever with him
Even Crystal and Niko were willing to risk death/die to save Edwin (and Charles) from Ester
Forget being a detective. This boy needs to be teaching a class on RIZZ. He seems like he has none but apparently he's got it all.

The internet will inflict another injury on this gentle Edwardian boy.
