  Summary

  Simon's last wish as his consciousness faded was for Eden and the consequences of the Quiet Rapture were to have never occured. He's not sure where he'd ended up but it had given him enough time to process some of what the hell just happened.

  Meanwhile, aboard the Hail Mary, Grace and Rocky were parsing out Grace's food problem after a stroke of good luck while digging through storage, when a mysterious Blip appeared on the ship's radar.

  Summary

  Eddie looks like he’s having a melt down, his shoulders are ridged with his arms stiff at his sides, mouth gaping after his hand fell from it. It snaps shut, opens again, snapping shut again, before Eddie manages a quick “Well anyways, I gotta get going. Wayne gets off early and I wanted to cook something for us. See you at practice! Bye!” Before absolutely sprinting to the door, barely managing to grab his keys off the counter and slamming the door shut behind him as he leaves Gareth there to process what the hell just happened.

  —-

  Aka, Eddie accidentally comes out to Gareth.
