Summary
“Rocky, hey, what are you talking about?” Rocky stops her pacing and instead turns the “front side” of her carapace in my direction.
Grace leak blood in sleep! Grace injured, Rocky can’t fix, you wouldn’t wake up. Bad, bad, bad! Her notes are low, a tone I’ve come to read as something resembling sorrow or anxiety.
I still don’t really understand what she’s talking about. I feel fine, and as far as I can see there’s nothing resembling an injury anywhere on my body. I shift a little on the mattress and feel something wet and sticky underneath me again.
Okay, that is weird. I hastily pull away the blanket covering my legs and am met with possibly the most unpleasant sight one can be met with (maybe aside from waking up on a spaceship in another star-system with no memories). A small bloodstain has formed on my underwear and stained the bed sheets. Great, just great.
Or, Grace gets her Period for the first time about a year into their journey to Erid and Rocky panics.
