Eddie Hemm

**Eddie Hemm** is a young, punk man who first appears in Last Stop - Part 1 and Last Stop - Part 2. Beneath his edgier appearance, Eddie is actually quite sweet and a bit sensitive. He is a secret Citrus fan and can frequently be seen listening to her albums through his large pair of headphones.

## Physical Appearance & Design

Eddie is a tall and thin young man with black hair containing red highlights. He wears a black jacket, red shirt, skinny jeans, and checkered shoes. He has multiple facial piercings, as well as large gauges in his ears. His nails are long, sharp and painted black. Eddie is almost always seen with a pair of heavy headphones adorned with a green skull.

Eddie was designed to contain elements of traditional goth, punk, and emo looks.

## Personality

Eddie is reserved and quiet, often preferring to get lost in his music rather than speak up. When he does let his personality shine through, Eddie is the complete opposite of what his outer appearance would suggest. He's kind, sweet, shy, and sensitive. He's particularly good at interacting with kids such as Connie Dali.

## History

### Before the start of the series

Some time before the start of the series, Eddie joined the band Vampire Void as their bass player.

### Last Stop - Part 1

In 2020, Eddie boards a bus headed to Unity Park. While he spends most of the trip listening to music, he pauses once he realizes that Jack Barter has refused to let anyone leave the bus once it arrives. Eddie listens to Jack's claims that there's a thief onboard with skepticism.

When Jack turns his attention to Eddie as a suspect, Eddie responds calmly, but quickly becomes flustered when Connie Dali reveals he's wearing a Citrus bracelet. Eddie explains he's a fan of the singer with embarrassment and reveals he planned to go to the park that day because he heard Citrus was looking at apartments nearby. Later, when Jack curses in front of Connie and Claire Lee repremainds him, Connie responds with a curse of her own which Eddie stifles a laugh at.

### Last Stop - Part 2

**This section contains spoilers**

When Jack reveals that the thief doesn't necessarily have to be one of the passengers aboard the bus, Eddie questions who else it could be. Upon Jack's reveal that the culprit is Patrick Riarque, the bus driver, Eddie wonders why Jack is trying to convince himself and his fellow passengers of Patrick's guilt. He asks Jack how they can be sure Patrick's the one who did it. When some of the other passengers claim they might believe Jack if he can make a stronger case, Eddie agrees that he'll take his side. When the transit investigators arrive and attempt to take Jack away, Eddie comes to his defense and passionately demands they not take him yet.

When Patrick finally confesses to the crime, Eddie sympathizes with him and says he'd be willing to sell some of his Citrus tickets to help pay Patrick's medical bills. Later, once everyone exits the bus, Eddie can be seen with a pair of binoculars searching for Citrus and talking with Connie.
