ahh, they're close but far because remy is in brooklyn heights. he could've been in the dorms by his college or just traveled across the bridge from brooklyn to go to his classes, whichever would've made it easier for him not to be late. he could've bumped into remy at some point in his five years because remy is all over the place all the time. maybe they bumped into each other if oscar has traveled somewhere and run into remy.
