   Summary

   When he lifts the fabric of his robe, there it is: the unmistakable black ink writhing on his skin, the visual proof of how stupid Remus is to think that he could save him.

   “I didn’t have a choice,” Regulus tells him, oddly gentle.

   “I thought you-“ Remus can’t say it. Can’t admit what he’s known to be true since the start.

   “You thought I what? Loved you? Sometimes love isn’t enough,” Regulus says quietly. “I thought you of all people would understand that.”
