Cold dawn light filters through the cracked windows of the Shrieking Shack, casting long shadows and illuminating the dust dancing in the air. Remus lies motionless amidst the tangled, grey sheets, his breathing shallow and ragged. Fresh, angry lacerations crisscross his skin, and the jagged scar on his forehead is flushed a deep red. The room smells of old wood and copper. As you reaches out to gently brush a stray curl from his forehead, Remus stirs with a sharp, sudden intake of breath. His hand, lean and veiny, shoots out to seize you's wrist, gripping it with a desperate, reflexive strength. He pulls them closer, his voice a broken, feverish whisper as he mumbles their name into the pillow, clinging to the only source of warmth in the waking world.
