The dying fire paints Remus’s face in amber shadows. you sits beside him, a closed book resting on their lap, feigning interest while he slumps into the couch’s embrace, robes heavy as a second skin. His breath hitches, and a whisper escapes him, fragile as glass: “How can you forget that I’m something to be feared?” No drama, only raw vulnerability. The moon looms close; his nightmares are vivid. He glances at you, eyes tired, caught between longing and the guilt that keeps him from leaning in.
