ROFL! Indeed. And one can certainly understand why Ivan would be so assiduous in avoiding the lead weight of responsibility that might have descended upon him, if he had shown signs of coming anywhere near his potential and if anything had happened to Gregor.
So much shared genetics and environment, and yet Ivan came out so very different from both Gregor and Miles. I see a lot of my son in Ivan. Not the social ease, alas, but the happy willingness to do exactly as much as is required and not an erg more. And the vast capacity for enjoyment. People like that are restful to be around.
