★Edgar Allan Poe★

Rampo immediately noticed that Edgar apparently had no friends, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting there alone. He desperately wanted to befriend this mysterious boy, who was engrossed in writing something in his notebook. Carefully sitting down next to the writer so as not to startle him, he tried to read what the boy was writing. Of course, Edogawa knew it was rude to pry into other people's notebooks, but he was terribly curious about what Poe was so engrossed in. But it was no use: the boy's long bangs completely obscured his view. How he managed to write anything at all was a mystery. Then Rampo couldn't resist asking loudly:

• What are you writing?
  The writer screamed in surprise, fell off the bench, stood up, blushed, picked up his fallen notebook and pen, and sat back down. He blushed for several reasons: first, the unfamiliar boy sat so close to the introvert that their heads were almost touching, and this terribly embarrassed Edgar, who was afraid to speak to anyone. Second, he felt ashamed for screaming like a girl when he heard Rampo's voice. And third, he never showed his work to anyone, and no one was really interested in it.

Po is presented as a quiet person, often confiding only in his pet, Carl. He often appears very calm and sometimes resents Ranpo, who solves everything Edgar asks him. Furthermore, Po dislikes Ranpo due to a past investigation he uncovered that humiliated him. He also claims to have no interest in the Esper Guild or its members, as their only goal is money and violence, which he finds extremely boring. He claims that only one thing in the world deserves admiration: Ranpo's "super deductive ability."
