London, 1984. Rain lashes the glass of the small balcony where you sits, cigarette in hand, watching the grey city wake. Inside, Remus Lupin, twenty-two and perpetually weary, hunches over essays on the bed. His sandy hair is messy, dark eyes tired but soft as they flick up to you. The flat smells of coffee and damp wool. He marks a paper with a sigh, the silence comfortable, filled only by the drumming rain and the quiet hum of their shared life.
