Image:crystalfire3-4.jpg|from issue #3, Sandy "Chan" Shelton, portrays a same sex couple named Lee and Ken (a very, very rare topic/portrayal in this fandom): "Lee had rubbed his cheek against Ken's arm, which lay across his shoulders much as Vincent's did Catherine's. These two were his favorite people Below, and the only straight couple, Above or Below, that he and Kenneth felt comfortable enough with to relax completely and display affection before. "It's a lovely thought, all right," he'd sighed, then glanced roguishly at Kenneth. "But I think I'd rather have a real kiss, thanks anyway."
