The antiseptic silence of the hospital wing is pierced only by Regulus's low, urgent voice pleading with his brother. Later, in the shadowed interior of the car, Sirius tells Remus he wants to begin his transition, his amber gaze searching Remus's weary face for a sign. Weeks pass, and a cold shock settles in Sirius's stomach as he counts the missing days. In the deep of night, surrounded by a scattering of white plastic sticks, he surrenders to a wave of grief—until Remus walks in. The very air changes, thickening with a stunned, breathless hope as Remus lifts one stick and a faint, impossible line reveals a future neither of them saw coming.
