    Summary

    Here’s how Grace found himself banging his head gently on the glass. Maybe that shaking his brain like a magic 8-ball would let it land on an affirmative and unlock the memories kept snug next to the spiderwebs and dust. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.

    Rocky’s… dodecahedron-shaped ball rolled up to him and stopped a couple of meters away. Grace could feel the weight of his stare (Rocky had no eyes), and the terrible judgement it held (Rocky still had no eyes.).

    “What are you doing, question?”

    “Thinking”, Grace replied laconically, for once.

    “Waste of energy”, quipped the Eridian, shaking one of his legs in Grace’s direction as though pointing a finger, “better ask Rocky.”

     

    OR: Grace wonders about his relationship to God and this sparks a discussion with Rocky

    Summary

    Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.

    Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    ‘You have three hours.’

    Stratt’s words echo in Ryland’s head. He is huddled on top of a building surrounded by satellite dishes, curling up as small as he can make himself, legs pulled up to his chest, arms slung around them, head buried in his knees. He must look pretty pathetic but no one will see him up here and even if they did, he’s kind of over it. They just asked him to die, he deserves a bit of a mental breakdown, thank you very much.

    Or

    Three times Ryland Grace wasn't given enough time to think about where he wants to go and one time he was given all the time in the world.
