[Edward’s a selfish man. He’s trying to be better, but his first instinct isn’t always to be kind, it’s to make sure he comes out of a mess with gold in hand. It took years for everything his friends said to him to sink in, years and too many deaths and more grief than anyone should be able to hold.
Edward is a greedy man, that’s true, but he’s damned loyal and he’s trying to be better, though he backslides sometimes. He has so many arguments ready, but then Jinwoo gets to his heart, his selfish broken heart, and—he can’t forget Caroline. He won’t. What sort of man would he become if he forgot the reason why he left home in the first place? If he didn’t know why he was trying to become a man of quality so badly?
His shoulders slump, just a little. He lets his bag fall open for Jinwoo to slip a hand in and take the record from him: one named Caroline Scott-Kenway.Her face is pictured inside, and she’s a beautiful woman, with red hair and a soft smile.]
How do you know? [His voice is quiet, raw, worried.] That taking the record out would make it as though she never existed. How did you learn of it?
