"When I was younger I always loathed the stars. At night, I would look up at the sparkling abyss and be reminded of the family I was born into, who I am. But now... well, now I look up and can't help but focus on the brilliant moon and all the stars dancing around it, reaping from its brightness, and for once, I don't feel despair or anger or embarrassment. I feel this indescribable feeling that I have never felt before that I can only assume is happiness. Because you are my moon, Remus. The stars do not define who I am because of my family. They define me because of you. Because the stars should not exist without the moon."
