If you, too, are looking for hope that Painland could be a thing:
Charles looked hurt when Edwin was talking to Monty, and he was clearly jealous when Edwin read Monty's book instead of talking to him.
Charles and Crystal don't seem to have a very meaningful romantic relationship. They're clearly into each other, and great friends besides, but it feels like they kiss because they want a distraction, not because of a deep desire.
In Episode 5, Charles is clearly projecting his relationship with Edwin onto the jocks. He's quick to say that "they're just mates" after Ritchie is gross and homophobic. What the jocks are or aren't doesn't matter. The important thing is that Charles immediately felt the need to shut down any conversation about whether or not two dead mates could be gay.
After Edwin and Charles hug later in Episode 5, Edwin realizes his feelings for his friend and puts his hand to his chest. Then, in Episode 8, Charles touches his chest after they hug coincidence? I think not.
Also in the finale, Charles says that he has a pretty convincing smile and leans in close to Edwin. It seems rather odd to do that after your friend confessed they liked you. Maybe I'm alone in this, but it seemed like really playful flirting?
Niko points out a blue and a red starfish and says that "they're in love". Blue is Edwin's colour and red is for Charles. This feels like subtle foreshadowing.
And Charles choose to run away with Edwin? Instead of going to heaven or something? After only knowing him for a few hours?
I've seen and read some cast interviews, and I've read what the show runners have said about the pairing. I think that what we're hearing is somewhat conflicted, so I'm not reading too much into it for any interpretation.
There are many interpretations of their relationship, of course, and all are valid. My view (maybe fueled by delusion and little else) is that Charles may have feelings for Edwin, but he's unaware of them or unwilling to acknowledge them for some reason.
Also, even if Painland never happens, I don't want Charles and Crystal to stay together romantically. I don't think that their relationship is very healthy in that regard.

One of my favorite tropes of all times is the fated meeting against all odds because you are telling me two souls that would have never met under normal circumstances are so destined to collide that they literally find each other after (during) they die, instantly become inseparable and choose to spend the whole eternity side by side living as ghosts?
That's such a kindred spirit type of shit that I could actually cry myself to sleep.
I really go feral over edwin and charles relationship. It's so incredibly deep and divinely orchestrated that words will never be enough to describe it.

btw "we've got literally forever to figure out what the rest means" is the most romantic shit of all time and I won't be hearing no one saying otherwise. if you even care.
