Edward Mason

Height: 154cm (5'0")

Master of floor B4. A very immature gravedigger who's grown infatuated with Rachel after seeing her documents, often seen obsessed with the idea of giving her the most beautiful burial and grave he can. He despises Zack for his lack of subtlety and finesse.

Born into a family that had been graveyard workers for generations, Eddie would pour all his heart into it, with creating beautiful graves quickly becoming his one true passion. He was always appreciated by his father, who'd often remark that he's the best worker in the family.
Despite that, due to being the third sibling - with one younger brother and two older ones - he'd always receive hand-me-downs from his older brothers, and would eventually be forced to give up his belongings to his younger brother (even boots which he purchased with his own money), thus never truly having anything of his own. He'd even be told that the family pets - which he not only loved, but took great care of - belonged to everyone and not him alone. Even when he had to bury the family's pet bird which his oldest brother killed in a fit of rage, he still felt like it wasn't "his" - only when he was forced to put down and bury the family cat would his heart find peace, leading to him developing an obsession with making things "his" by burying them in graves of his own making.

His oldest brother, Albert, developed severe anger issues that went untreated, prompting him to destroy items around the house and harm the family pets. In order to avoid that, Eddie would often let his brother use him as a punching bag, believing that if he endures his abuse, they would all be safe - however, he could never bring himself to hate his brother or tell his parents about what was going on, with his obsessive devotion to grave-digging eventually worsening and becoming a way to cope with both his own mental problems and the physical harm his brother would inflict.

~!At some point, he had grown closer to a little girl of similar age to him, who would often accompany him during his grave-digging at night, but refused to talk about herself despite wearing tattered clothes and being covered in bandages, prompting Eddie's concern. Soo after, as Albert's condition worsened and his abuse became much worse, Eddie's psyche would reach its breaking point, with him opting to kill and bury all the family pets so that they would never be hurt by his brother ever again. At the same time, the girl he had befriended arrived once again, revealing that she had run away from an abusive foster family and had nowhere to go. Seeing that she's suffering, Eddie would put her out of her misery with his own hands, later burying her in a grave of his own making, happy that she was not only free from abuse, but also, became truly "his".!~
