    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    "Photon sensing is short-range for navigation? How far Grace see?"

    Grace's brows furrowed as he contemplated.

    "In here? To the wall—about six meters. But outside, or looking out into space? I can see things that are kilometers away. If it's a star, I can see it from light-years away."

    All three Eridians clicked in surprise, the third Eridian—Grace nicknamed them 'Mendel'—wobbling on their stool in surprise.

    "Light-years?!" Rocky chirped, melody rising. "You lie! Explain!"

    OR

    Grace explains what light and colors are.

    Summary

    Grace leak from eyes,” Rocky leaned closer, emitting a soft, rhythmic purr that echoed concern. “Heart beat fast. Bad, bad, bad. Grace okay, question?

    And Grace didn’t want to say anything. Wasn’t planning to. It was shameful. It was cowardly. It was pathetic. But—

    But—

    “I didn’t want to go, Rocky,” Grace wheezed out, the words spilling, tearing from his throat, jagged and bloody and ripping at the seams, and it hurt— “I didn’t volunteer. I-I didn’t want to be a hero.”

    Summary

    Flowers underwater.
    Huh. Never seen such a trivial waste of resources.
    But nature seems to be surviving here somehow. It's just that nothing's biting. And why would it? Though the fishing rod in my hands is so flexible. Heavy. Its weight is pleasant. The lure glitters on the surface of the water.
    I don't remember where I got this fishing rod at all. Or why I even have one, for that matter.

     

    OR: Simon’s few days on Erid.
