Edward Mason

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".
