To barok,
What do you think about your new niece? Any thoughts about how she is the only child of your beloved brother… Your brother who was also the professor?
Ace-chaser,
I fear that my feelings on Iris being my niece are too complicated to sum up through one single correspondence. She is a brilliant child, and she reminds me quite a bit of him... Or, at least, the side of him that I knew.
There is a lot I must reconsider about my brother. The kind of person he was, how it would have ended had he stayed alive... though, perhaps it is best that he died when he did. He caused a significant amount of misery in his time.
I truly hope his better side lives on in his daughter.
Signed, Lord Barok van Zieks
