Dear Pascal,
Thank you for reaching out. I would say that it’s the first step towards
mending our relationship. I’m sure that your son told you that I would be
out of range for a period of time, so that’s why it’s taken me this long to
respond. As for you and me, I can’t promise you what will become of us in
the future, but I can promise that I’ll try. You’ll always be able to send
me a message, and I’ll always open it. Condor and I kind of have a weekly
thing going, but we don’t have to write as often, and I won’t hold it
against you in terms of resolving our issues. That being said, there is no
quick fix here. Forgiveness is a really strong word, and I’m afraid I’m
going to need more time before I can even consider it. That may be all it
takes. We could not talk to each other the whole time, but I may one day get
over it just because it’s been long enough. We’ll have to see. I understand
that you were in a difficult position, and having known my mother for 36
years, I don’t doubt that she forced her ideals on you. She has a way of
making you live the kind of life that she wants you too. I’m not sure if it
was about being vicarious, or if she just wanted control. I’ve always
thought she only wanted what was best for me, but looking back now, it
doesn’t really make much sense. I mean, if this was a social experiment to
see how two twins grew up if they were raised separately, why did she try to
make all my choices for me? It sort of taints the results, wouldn’t you say?
I dunno, it just seems like a weird choice to me, or maybe she just couldn’t
help herself. It strained our relationship, and I pushed back at every turn.
She didn’t exactly hope that I would become a solar flare watcher. I’ve
spoken to counselors here, and on the ship, but other than that, to my
knowledge, I don’t undergo any tests or evaluations. No one seems to be
recording my behavior in any way, unless they’re doing it from a pretty big
distance. What can you tell me about Condor? Do you report in to someone
about who he is, and what kinds of things he does? Is someone writing a
scientific paper about it? I would prefer it if you let me know, but it’s
more important that he knows, so if you only tell one of us, I would rather
be the one left in the dark.
It was nice to meet you,
Effectively, a stranger,
Corinthia
