Riddle 028: What always comes too late? Answer - Regret (Backdated to the Day After Port West)

[puzzlerprince]

[A - 726 Anderson Lane - Family / Neighbors / Stalkers

Edward’s back from Port West. Not that he feels any more comforted by this abrupt return back home. Sure, he isn’t trapped in the basement any longer, but he’s not exactly ready to come to terms with what he’s done. And what he tried to do.

So, of course, Eddie’s got to head out. Try and leave

[puzzlerprince]

Hmm? [Whipping back around to face her again.] I'm not---[Hiding? Yes, you are.]

[puzzlerprince]

I'll... I'll deal with it. All right? I know I've got plenty to answer for.

[He nods, taking the comics in hand. He'll take it easy. Assuming it's even possible.]
