    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are travelling to Erid, finally experiencing a period of quiteness and tranquility.

    Summary

    “Much learning happens when Eridians make mistakes. Much learning happens when Grace make mistakes. Here to learn. Here to learn.”

    Ryland nods. “It’s like that on Earth, too!”

    Summary

    One day, Rocky introduced Grace to the idea of teaching again. Grace did cry that time. He missed his students like he missed the feeling of cool fog in the air, coarse sand beneath his feet, sea breezes ghosting across his skin. But now, he had all those things. And he would soon have his students again.

    Rocky was not exaggerating when he told Grace there were thousands of Eridians lining up to have their pebbles taught by their alien savior.

    -or-

    Grace gets to teach again and gets to know his new students.

    Summary

    The awareness of time is a delicate thing.

    It is slipping rapidly from Grace's fingers. Grace, who is starving to death, who is still recovering from the most precise amnesia Earth could give him, who turned around and left Earth in the hands of the Beetles save his one dearest companion even though it would kill him, is still a scientist at heart. Scientists solve problems. He finds ways to keep track.

    Rocky wouldn't approve, but what Rocky doesn't know won't hurt him.

    “It’s um. A religion. A small one! But - yes. There’s a portion of Christians who hold the belief that you are the second coming of God. God the Son.” She pauses. “Jesus,” she clarifies, unhelpfully.
