1. The new Ash and Stars title is Burn the World, which, I feel I should clarify, is a reference to funerary practices and not... whatever that sounds like if you don't know anything about Barrayaran funerary practices. But it should be read as "poignancy, despair, extravagant grief" rather than "anarchic destruction". If you pick up this letter quickly enough, you'll get to listen to it before I do, lucky bastard.
2. My gravity friend purports to be hovering on the edge of breakthrough, so I might write you another letter any day now forwarding her schematics. Genius, alas, cannot be scheduled.
3. A looming personal crisis finally hit this morning, so I might not have time to summon you anytime soon.
Enjoy the music. I'll write you again if I think of anything else to say.

"Right then. Nice to meet you insofar as I have done, Mark."
And Ivan goes upstairs and looks for Cordelia.
