thank you so so very much buddy. i was SO proud of that letter you quoted in particular so it means a ton that it stood out to you too!! i always struggle to think about how remus in particular would communicate his emotions and be vulnerable. i feel like it would be very rarely and in a few simple words and he would prefer to do it in writing rather than in person. i'm so glad it felt expressive and true to you. thank you again for reading and commenting!
