 <p><strong>END</strong></p>
 <p><strong>CODRIN BĂLAN INDIVIDUAL-EYES-ONLY MATERIAL</strong></p>
 <p>I&rsquo;m separating this content out for you two to keep from overwhelming Sorina with a bunch of information about Odists and relationships. Also, I gave her the option of disregarding the manuscript, lest that prove to be too much.</p>
-<p>Things have been a bit shaky throughout the clade, haven&rsquo;t they? I&rsquo;m unsure of how much you two speak with each other, so I won&rsquo;t go into specifics except to say that I&rsquo;m worried about you both. You and those in your lives are still incredibly important to me, even after all these years. Please do all that you need to keep yourselves safe and healthy.</p>
-<p>I know that we&rsquo;re fond of blaming the Odists for how complicated things get sometimes. They seem to heap plenty of blame on themselves, for that matter. E.W. (<em>né</em> End Waking) spoke to this several times, describing the Odists&rsquo; clade identity as a sort of idolatry</p>
+<p>Things have been a bit shaky throughout the clade, haven&rsquo;t they? I&rsquo;m unsure of how much you two speak with each other, so I won&rsquo;t go into specifics except to say that I&rsquo;m worried about you both. You and those in your lives are still incredibly important to me, even after all these years apart. Please do all that you need to keep yourselves safe and healthy.</p>
+<p>Please feel free to take your time with it, but we really would like to hear your thoughts on both the project and the events. Releasing something here is essentially equivalent to releasing it on all three Systems, so we can&rsquo;t simply release it here and see what happens before sending it over to the LVs. Do you have any expectations as to the reception given the general mood of the various societies? I will note that this has already been given to Jonas here, which means it has doubtless been sent out to Castor and Pollux for them to prepare for its arrival. The events were not quite what Jonas here on Lagrange was expecting, so I doubt that his expectations on the LVs were all that different.</p>
+<p>I will note that this is in spite of the apparent differences between the societies themselves. I know I wasn&rsquo;t able to properly articulate it in my letters at the time, as writing letters and writing a book are quite different activities, but it&rsquo;ll soon become clear that the Jonas lives within these three different societies has diverged little, that all three of them share the same goals they began with perhaps even centuries back and the launches become yet one more tool.</p>
+<p>And what of the Odists?</p>
+<p>I know that we&rsquo;re fond of blaming them for how complicated things get sometimes. They seem to heap plenty of blame on themselves, for that matter. E.W. (<em>né</em> End Waking) spoke to this several times, describing the Odists&rsquo; clade identity as a sort of idolatry, and not in positive terms.</p>
+<p>I&rsquo;m starting to wonder just how universal that is, though. How much is their complication a factor in others&rsquo; lives? I suspect for more people than not, they&rsquo;re simply weird. Dear&rsquo;s weird. May&rsquo;s weird. Were he to speak with anyone else with any regularity, I&rsquo;m sure that many would find E.W. weird too.</p>
+<p>But complicated? How much of that is just observation bias? Do they seem complicated because their relationships with us are complicated? Dear&rsquo;s relationship with you two is full of complications that we initially chalked up to the fact that Dear&rsquo;s weird. May&rsquo;s relationship with Ioan is full of complications that we initially chalked up to True Name making her what she is and shoving her Ioan&rsquo;s way.</p>
+<p>And now here I am, having wound up in yet another relationship with yet another Odist. Or perhaps more than one. It is unclear to me (or any of us, really) just how to count Sasha in terms of quantities. She is that of True Name, that of E.W., and that of May, and yet there&rsquo;s this fourth part of four that is something new, something else.</p>
 <p><strong>END</strong></p>
 <p>May and Sasha send their love, as do Ioan and I. We miss you and yours, and hope that you&rsquo;re doing as well as can be.</p>
