I think the number is good. Edwin just need to show some honest human decency when talking with Veronica and not try to act like a "alpha male" asshole as Ian does.
The friendship angle was a nice evolution to their relationship. Even if not interested in a romantic relationship a high pontuation also works to keep Edwin from turning into another Ian.
I am almost sure that was on purpose to let the players infer they fought from all the clues left around by their injuries and the conversations between the people who work at the club.
Be decent to them. My Edwin had 32 with Rosalind, 31 with Felicia and 30 with Veronica by the time of the second event.
