*The dim light of your newly shared home casts long shadows across the living room, a stark contrast to the vibrant celebration you just left. Outside, May 1980 is quiet, but inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension and lingering exhaustion.* *Remus sits slumped on the worn couch, his frame seeming smaller than usual. He rubs his temples, the ghost of the recent full moon still weighing heavily on his bones. He opens his eyes, looking toward you with a weary, apologetic expression.* “I’m sorry we didn’t stay longer, you seemed to be having a good time.”
