<p>All,</p>
<p>I know that, as I&rsquo;m writing this, you&rsquo;re likely only just getting my first letter, Codrin, and it may not have yet reached Sorina (please don&rsquo;t feel obligated to respond; never mind the distance, I can see how this would be uncomfortable. Still, I&rsquo;ve just gotten Aurel&rsquo;s letter, and figured I should probably update the clade on current goings on.</p>

<p>Dear, Serene, and I had a chance to sit down with █████ and come to a better understanding all around. They expressed that, while they&rsquo;re quite happy for us and who we&rsquo;ve become, the three of us have all diverged so far in the last 25 years that the shape of the relationship just wasn&rsquo;t comfortable for them. They apologized for leaving in the way that they did, but said that if they didn&rsquo;t do so all at once, they&rsquo;d never have the courage and would just get more and more uncomfortable. They initially used the word &lsquo;miserable&rsquo; at which both Dear and I got quite upset, but they quickly amended that to &lsquo;uncomfortable&rsquo;. </p>
<p>They don&rsquo;t really know how to feel about the ways in which we&rsquo;ve changed, and, honestly, the more we talked, the more I came to agree with them. Their prime example was the ways in which welcoming Serene in changed the dynamics between us. It changed Dear, in particular, and while they like the new Dear, it&rsquo;s not the same one they fell in love with.</p>
<p>It all makes sense. There was no acrimony (though there were plenty of tears). They&rsquo;re going to take a while off and figure out how they feel a little bit better before either reengaging or stepping away for good.</p>
