Summary
When the new human started asking for Grace, the Eridians did everything in their power to accommodate.
Grace was waiting on the other side, flanked by a pair of Eridians he named Quartz and Ruby. He wrung his hands, an anxious tick that the handlers recognize, as the entourage with their new human entered.
The new human startled at seeing Grace. His eyes darted around the biosphere, but they always ended up right back on the other human, as if trying to understand what he was seeing.
