Oh man, angst time. You'd think Charles would have some kind of easy comraderie with the Post Man since he would have been a constant in their after lives for many years. He reliably brings them mail, and sometimes cases. But he seems as frustrated with The Postman as Edwin does.
It's about being snuck up on. It's about not hearing him until he's THERE. For someone like Charles who would have spent most of his life on high alert for his dad, physically and emotionally, it is VERY STRESSFUL to have someone pop up when you're least expecting it.
#dead boy detectives#dbda#charles rowland#Ghost post man#Tbh as The Brawn Charles also probably spends most of his afterlife on high alert too#Don't think too hard about him being secretly keyed up all the time because either#A. He died and his spirit holds the memories of always being on alert cuz he never got the chance to unlearn it#B. He figured since his brain already did it “automatically” he decided it was a good quality to have to keep him and Edwin safe#And thus never learned to let go and unlearn it#Boy has never been relaxed a day in his (after) life
