Summary
Charles learned at a very young age that in order to survive, reading people quickly was a necessity. The home he grew up in had been an emotional minefield, so his ability to read a room as soon as he entered it was crucial if he wanted to avoid his father’s unwanted attention. He made errors sometimes, especially as a young boy, which was always unfortunate - his father was not very forgiving of errors. Being able to predict his father’s mood swings was often the difference between a peaceful evening alone in his room, or an evening spent pleading for mercy on the kitchen floor. Learning to avoid the emotions of others became a method of survival, and Charles had always been good at surviving.
Well, until now. Now he’s dead and that habit, however exhausting, has followed him to his afterlife.
