I don't know... does a singularity have an edge? It's just a point.

I am under the impression that all fundamental particles are just points, really. We just measure sizes for them because of the strength of the forces we necessarily use for those measurements.

For that reason, I don't think it's fair to say that what's between two points is somehow different from the two points themselves. Also, the mathematics would break down if that were the case.
