    Summary

    “I took it. I took as much as I could. What was necessary. It’s done. How I feel now is up to me,” Carl said, his voice breaking.

    Stratt shook her head.

    “I’m not.. telling you not to feel. Just don’t blame yourself for things that are bigger than you,” She said.

    Summary

    “Well, the rest of it should be pretty simple. Just duct tape and aluminum foil.” Dr. Grace smiles, a little lopsided. His glasses have slipped farther down his nose. “Maybe some safety glasses.”

    “I’m sure we can arrange that.” Carl’s a little breathless, and Dr. Grace smiles wider.

    Carl wants to make him happy, he realizes. Wants to see him smile and pump his fist in the air again after some new discovery. For the project, he tells himself. Just because he’ll make progress on the project.

    They glance at each other, and Dr. Grace’s cheeks flush, but he doesn’t look away. He doesn’t look away, and Carl’s heart lifts, and for fifteen minutes they’re on top of the world. They buy safety glasses and throw bags and bags of sour skittles in their cart and on the drive back to the hangar, Carl feels more hopeful than he has in a long time.

    (He knows it’s worthless. He knows it’s a bad impulse, that this will just lead to even more pain, just like everyone else who’s joined and left the project at the drop of a hat. He does it anyway.)

    --
    carl, as a rule, doesn't let himself get attached to people in this business. that goes out the window as soon as dr. grace shows up.
