I am very sorry for misinterpreting the tone of your letter. I really thought that you got angier. Sorry again.

You are right in saying that Lagoon's behavior is rude. But hasn't he always been like this? At least to me he has. It is for sure improper behavior. I too have some of those. Lagoon is probably behaving rudely either because it his nature or maybe he has his reasons.

This misunderstanding between you and Lagoon is really getting out of hand. Lagoon has just about given up hope of reconciliation. I am trying when I can to get him to talk to you. I hope that's alright with you.

About your recent letter, you are probably right in that no one will respond. First, Lagoon doesn't want to. Second, in the same way that you don't talk directly to Vector and Hector about things on this level, they probably won't reply to you either, even if Lagoon tells them to. It is just that you and my brothers don't really know each well enough for this level of talk. Baryon might if it involved him more directly. I have known long before that Hec and Vec idolize Lagoon. The twins are striving to be different in character from me or my father and it is Lagoon who they see all the time. I have no control over them any more. I remember telling them not to imitate Lagoon too much a long time ago but it seems to have backfired. I have now just accepted the situation. This is what they have become and so I bend a little to accomodate them. It is not always pretty but that is reality.

You are right in saying Lagoon is more the escapist. But, in a way, your departure is a sort of escape from the reality of who Lagoon is as well. I have been trying to get Lagoon to understand your side but the more I do, the more he resists. I have tried to make you understand Lagoon's side but I have also failed there. Right now, I don't know what to do to preserve your and Lagoon's friendship. You have been through a lot and it shouldn't end this way. Try and talk to him face to face.

Sorry again about misinterpreting your letter.
