    Summary

    Grace roughly knows that March is a widower, because Holly confided in him once—albeit vaguely—but he managed to extract a brief summary of what happened. A tragic accident, a fire that burned down the March family's home, a mother who passed away, and a father who wallowed in guilt and grief. Grace has never known Mrs. March, because she’d passed away before Holly became his student. The seat next to Mr. March during Parent-Teacher Conferences was always empty.

    Now it's occupied by a Mr. Healy.

    His brain clicks. Oh. Grace briefly entertains the idea of congratulating the new (?) couple.

    or: holly march is one of mr. ryland grace's students. parent-teacher conferences with holland march are just awful—until a jackson healy appears.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    When Colt Seavers looked over his shoulder, he felt the wound open again.

    He blinked a few times, inhaling shakily as he looked back in front of him. His suit suddenly felt wrong, his tie was too tight around his neck, his shoes were too small, and everything felt wrong.

    Because Ryland wasn’t there. Ryland was supposed to be there.

    Or-

    A glimpse into Colt's life, and how one carries the grief of losing a sibling. Trying to celebrate all of life's big moments while knowing your other half is no longer there to celebrate them with you. You start to unconsciously leave a space for them in your life.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    ♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪

    “Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”

    The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.

    “Right, duh. Forget I asked.”

    ♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.

    OR

    Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing Grace is there to teach the Eridians everything they need to know about human biology.
