[Charles is pleasantly surprised to receive this return written note from a space faring person --a thoughtful one that shows she enjoyed the book, no less-- and writes back in the same way:]
Ms. Nebula,
I don't think you're meant to feel about him any way than you do. [He relates to what he feels like he's hearing: That someone's own feelings or ideas might be in need of questioning or correction in some way, even by the person themselves. He doesn't want to do to someone else the kind of thing that was done to him, that made him feel that way.] If you don't like him, and think his naïveté is foolish, then that's how you received him.
I sent that book to you, with Latimer as the main character, on a guess that a character who was also new to the espionage book genre in a sense, might be a good introduction to how this type of story works. If you'd like to read more, I'd be happy to send you one with a main character who is more savvy.
[Note writing isn't exactly a forte, but it feels strange to switch to a text now. So at some point, she'll slip another note into his door, shorter this time.]
Charles-
I would like another book of someone savvy, like you suggested. Perhaps you could send me books or recommendations regularly? Only if you want to, of course. But I would enjoy continuing this.
