    Summary

    Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.

    ~

    “Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”

    There’s silence on the other end.

    “Why?” is all that comes next.

    Inconvenience.

    He’s always an inconvenience.

    Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”

    His voice gives out before he can finish.

    Summary

    The Eridians don't have love words. Love is assumed -- structural, built into everything. But they do have a word for the specific feeling of being relieved someone exists. Not for what they give you. For what they are.

    Rocky has been trying to translate it for three years.

    "And… Rocky says Grace acts different when Adrian Rocky visit. Acts normal when Rocky visits. Rocky can tell. Said to give Grace time, that Grace may be shy. But… Adrian come more often, and Grace act more differently. Starts to ask Rocky Adrian to leave early. Tells Rocky not to visit. Rocky is sad sad sad sad sad sad," they warble.

    Summary

    Stress-related paranoia and dissociation: happen when emotional stress becomes too intense for the mind to process clearly. Paranoia can make fear feel like fact, turning uncertainty into certainty that someone is lying, angry, leaving, or unsafe. Dissociation can follow when the fear becomes too much, causing the person to feel numb, unreal, detached, or far away from their own body and surroundings.

    Summary

    Intense anger: when emotional pain becomes too overwhelming to stay vulnerable. Instead of saying “I’m hurt,” “I’m scared,” or “I need reassurance,” the feeling hardens into; sharpness, coldness, sarcasm, or cruelty. It is anger used as armor. A way to regain control, push someone back, or make pain feel less helpless.
