    Summary

    His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.

    He realizes it's just the right size for him.

    ---

    The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.

    Summary

    Rocky watched his 22 crew mates die one by one, and now he is doomed to watch me die slowly as well.
    Unable to fix it.
    And unable to accept it.
    I tried talking about my impending death with him before, but he just refuses to even think about it.
    He just tells me that I won't die.
    Because he won't let me die.

    He will be okay.
    He will be back home, reunited with Adrian.
    After we arrive at Erid he doesn't need me anymore, I just have to hold on for that long.

    Or
    On the way to Erid, Grace suffers from malnutrition. Good thing he has a plan to fix it.

    Summary

    Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.

    “Grace ok, question?”

    “…no bud. I’m not.”

    “…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”

    Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.

    “Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”

    Or

    There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.
