    Summary

    I wasn't really expecting it to come up at all, if I'm being honest, but you know what they say about assuming. After all the initial discussions and work to figure out what I could eat, what I needed to get via food, and how best to ensure adequate nutrition, I figured food wouldn't come up again. Like, ever. Eridians are super private about it, and it's a nutritional obligation to them, not a social norm like it is for humans. That was fine - they soundproofed my kitchen and dining room for an added layer of protection, once they realised how noisily humans eat. No harm, no foul.

    I hadn't accounted for the anthropologists.

    -

    A brave group of Eridian scientists finally broach the taboo topic of food with Grace, and there's a whole lot of miscommunication, a few false allegations, and the unveiling of an unintentional slight Eridians have been committing against Grace since the beginning - with Rocky being the worst offender of them all.

    Summary

    The deaf spot of all Eridians is silent, open air. A piece of the crumbling biodome’s ceiling finally snaps from its connection point and plummets. It falls towards the abandoned shore, unapologetic to anyone who may already be down there.

    Rocky can’t realize something’s quickly approaching them until it’s far too late.

    ~~~~

    Set hundreds of years after the end of the book, a case of wrong-place/wrong-time leads Rocky to a catch a glimpse of what and who might be waiting for them beyond.

    (Rocky finally gets to see Grace again)
