<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, least of all her) 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>As an internal postscript, I should add that, on hearing about True Name&rsquo;s transformation into Sasha, both True Name#Castor and True Name#Pollux sent the same letter to her. Totally identical. That speaks to a level of coordination between Jonas and the other instances of her that&rsquo;s quite unnerving.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Sasha,</p>
<p>Thank you for the update. We will respect your autonomy in this and all actions moving forward, and hope that you will respect ours. We trust that your interactions with the Jonas and Ode clades will remain cordial and professional.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>The Only Time I Know My True Name Is When I Dream of the Ode clade</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I expected that this would leave her upset, given the fact that they just very politely told her to fuck off and stay out of their business, but when she received the letters, she ran up from her tent, waving the letters printed on slips of paper, laughing gleefully, and shouting, &ldquo;Good fucking riddance.&rdquo; There was much forking, as is to be expected by an excited Odist. I think the greater part of her was more relieved than anything.</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>
