Thank you, gilpin! I'm really glad that Andromeda's reaction here works – I was afraid readers might think she was too quickly accepting/forgiving, but I'm glad it comes across as you said, that this way is almost worse than if she'd just done the "normal" thing and been angry!
Yeah, I do think Remus is often the last to understand himself in these situations. Harry, too, saw through the "it's for her own good" rationalizations instantly.
Oh, Remus. His behavior at this point in the timeline really is reprehensible, and yet I can't help but feel for him so much.
