@ -6,11 +6,11 @@ Sasha told me something shortly after she became Sasha:
> Our lives are informed by fear, Ioan. I am afraid. *We* are afraid. We lived through a moment of such terror that whoever we were before is someone completely different. I...that is, that of True Name faces this fear through control, and thus so do my up-tree instances, in one way or another. Praiseworthy saw that fear and tried to reshape herself, to find a way to more perfectly move with the crowd so that it might slip past her, and now your cocladist's partner shapes itself so easily that it has literally made it into an art. We lost our friend, and then we truly lost them, and now we live what lives we may afraid but coping.
There is fear within us all. There can't *but* be fear within us, and we have all of our own fears, don't we? The loss of our family, the separation from Rareș, these things shape us into who we are, and how we interact with those that we love.

I don't know where he is, don't know if he uploaded or died back on Earth, and I'm too afraid of that knowledge to even try.

PS --- As a final note, True Name#Castor sent a short note directly to Aurel on learning of em and the reasons for eir existence. Since Sasha went on sabbatical again, Aurel merged down after a week out on eir own just writing and experiencing solitude, and so now I have this note as well. There were no instructions on whether or not I should pass it on or share it, and I probably wouldn't even think to pass it on if it weren't for the ways in which the Ode clade is changing across all three Systems. I'm surprised at how quickly everything seems to be changing after so long of relative stasis, but I guess that's what happens when you get aliens and an assassination attempt.

Some of the letter contained some eyes-only stuff for each of us (which Aurel found a bit confusing, but it was pertinent) which I've trimmed, but here is the rest:

> Aurel, you and Ioan must stay watchful and attentive to your partners. There is no danger, I hope, but there will be stress.
Perhaps most interestingly, the note specifically contained a visibility exemption for True Name#Pollux, despite being eyes-only for Aural and Sasha.
Perhaps most interestingly, the note specifically contained a visibility exemption for True Name#Pollux, despite being eyes-only for Aural and Sasha. May was quick to point out that, as far as we know, it wasn't sent to Pollux at all. Surely the two True Names aboard the LVs are in communication with each other and they've been sharing their own notes back and forth. This exemption, then, becomes a part of the text. There is something going on here, some difference between the two LVs that True Name#Castor is hinting at...
