Overview

Remy spent the pandemic isolating in their room; working as a freelance artist, falling down internet rabbit holes and hanging out online with their overseas best friend Bea. As lockdown restrictions ease up and Bea begins a new full-time job, the two are forced to readjust how they communicate and stay connected; working on conflicting schedules across different time-zones.
