 <p>PS &mdash; 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&rsquo;t even think to pass it on if it weren&rsquo;t for the ways in which the Ode clade is changing across all three Systems. I&rsquo;m surprised at how quickly everything seems to be changing after so long of relative stasis, but I guess that&rsquo;s what happens when you get aliens and an assassination attempt.</p>
 <p>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&rsquo;ve trimmed, but here is the rest:</p>
 <blockquote>
-<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
-<p>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.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
-<p>Aurel, you and Ioan must stay watchful and attentive. There is no danger, I think, but this is a complicated matter.</p>
+<p>Aurel, you and Ioan must stay watchful and attentive to your partners. There is no danger, I hope, but there will be stress.</p>
 </blockquote>
 <p>Perhaps most interestingly, the note specifically contained a visibility exemption for True Name#Pollux, despite being eyes-only for Aural and Sasha.</p>
