Unsent letters to one Lyra Potter.

May 25th

Dear Lyra,

I am trying something new.

You would laugh at me, I think; I am trying to be more social, at least to the point where it is no longer shocking when I appear at events that are not hosted by Thom. It's not that I want to be some feature of society - it's that, I think, something should change, and so far I have changed nothing, and perhaps this is the change I should make.

It is not working much so far. I think that you would have suggestions on that, too, but that would break the rules of engagement that we have established here - I am, in fact, leaning against the rules of engagement already. It is what it is.

Love,
August

Dear Lyra,

I think I did something wrong

I'll amend that. I know I did something wrong, morally. It did not feel incorrect at the time - it never does - but of course it was the wrong thing to do, and it may get me in trouble sooner or later. It is, of course, too late now to do any differently, but - it was the wrong thing to do.

Wasn't it?
