"So they started about four thousand years ago?"
He shrugged. "There are specific numbers. They add up to...five thousand, three hundred twelve years ago."
He shrugged. "There are specific numbers. They add up to...five thousand, three hundred twelve years ago. Thing is, I'm not sure if that takes relativity into account. From our perspective, that could be a much larger number."
"Holy shit," Dear's partner said. "Think they're batty?"

"They provided additional information, though. They say that fourthrace had the same concept of forking that we appear to, so they understand our questions around dissolution strategies and clade structures. #Artemis also asked about their naming system, and apparently Turun Ka and Turun Ko are from something akin to a clade that existed before the voyage began. Something from when they were electronic but not on their system.
``Instead of forking, they have individual, fine-grained control over time. This is how they responded so quickly, apparently: they slowed time way down so that they had as much as they wanted to write their response. They ask if this will be accommodated during the talks and there's a note from True Name here saying that, even if it were possible, she's going to answer no. Tycho said she looked upset."

## Brief outline
1. Exposition
1. Sorina is upset, feeling that Codrin#Castor is struggling with her leaving, and thus her exes being upset with her
2. Codrin *is* kinda struggling, but is also sort of baffled as to why she went quiet so soon
3. Ioan is starting to meet with True Name regularly, talking about therapy w/ Odists; concerned for Sorina/Codrin#Castor, urges them to talk to each other
4. Codrin#Pollux sends brief note that partner has left (temporarily?); another that Serene has joined so there are still three at the house
3. Development
1. Ioan also summarizes events of *Mitzvot* (mostly mentioning the work ey wrote sent along with them), inquires after TN from both LVs (both decline to respond, but in exactly the same way, showing they were probably in on it, shown in footnote), mentions getting closer with Sasha
2. Codrin#Pollux talks about life with two foxes and w/o partner, moving from moping to joy to normalcy, brings back grief vs longing
3. Codrin and Sorina talk to each other, copying the rest of the clade
5. Recapitulation
1. Sorina is calming down, at least! They've got it mostly worked out, though she's setting a boundary in terms of communication between herself and the 'cule, settling back into comfortable single life as Ioan had before encountering Odists
2. Codrin#Pollux and Dear's partner decides to move on without them over several weeks of discussion, and it's all fairly positive; ey writes this to Ioan only, though, with a separate note from each to their counterparts Castor, talking about how immortality changes ones view on letting go of relationships
3. Ioan, May, and Sasha enter some sort of vague triad, with Sasha drifting in and out of their lives. Talks about the struggles of making it work the first time, how May's devotion and eir confusion play into it, Sasha struggling with May's need for contact and love conflicting with EW's need for distance and solitude
