Crystal doesn't get it at first. She thinks it's funny and sentimental, because they call themselves the Dead Boy Detectives but she really forgets that their hearts stopped beating decades before she was born.

When Charles says it's their anniversary she rolls her eyes and laughs with him. Asks if it's their Silver or Pearl anniversary and tells them that they're 'never beating the old married couple allegations'. Edwin doesn't understand the joke. Charles does, and laughs for both of them. She notices that Edwin's eyes are a little heavy on Charles, and will kick herself later for not realising why.

She should have realised. Charles laughs hardest when he wants to cry.

She's half asleep when she jolts up in vicious realisation and almost slams her head.

Charles met Edwin as he was dying from a hate crime.

Their anniversary is the day her best friend died.
