    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    What would being Eridian be like?

    Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…

    Grace's breath hitches at that thought.

    or

    Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)

    (fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )
