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:

-

Sasha, despite the tone of my previous note, I am not unhappy for you. The ways in which you and I have changed and been changed by the events around us perhaps gives me room to understand a little better. I think that the direction in which your writing is going is the correct one, and I will begin preparing Castor and Convergence for such.

-

I do not think the same is true with my counterpart. Her experiences are not our experiences, and so I do not expect her to share that understanding.

-

Aurel, you and Ioan must stay watchful and attentive. There is no danger, I think, but this is a complicated matter.

Sasha, despite the tone of my previous note, I am not unhappy for you. The ways in which you and I have changed and been changed by the events around us perhaps gives me room to understand a little better, though to move beyond the Ode as completely as you have takes more courage than I possess.

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.
