    Summary

    Ryland Grace is Not Doing Well.

    He’s consulted a medical textbook. He’s definitely malnourished, as expected, but he also thinks he might have scurvy, which is. Uh.

    He’s attempting to make light of it. Well. He’s attempting not to make anything of it at all. They only have what, ten more days until they reach Erid? And once they’ve got to Erid, Rocky has reassured him, told him again and again and again that the best minds on Erid will fix him, will work out a way to feed him, that they’ll help.

    So he just has to make it through those ten more days. With scurvy. No big deal. Who hasn’t lived with scurvy before? If he thinks real hard about it, he’s just a pirate, at the end of the day. A space pirate. A space pirate who pillaged another planet for their resources and has now got scurvy as a form of divine retribution for crimes against Taumoeba (eating it) and Astrophage (getting Taumoeba to eat it.)

    He’s Jack Sparrow. What the hey, sure.

    Or: Ryland Grace, and The Brush With Scurvy.

    Summary

    On Erid, Ryland Grace has spent decades building a new life among the Eridians beside his closest friend, Rocky. But while humans grow old, Eridians do not understand aging the same way—and for the first time, Rocky is forced to confront the terrifying idea of losing someone he loves.

    As Grace begins to reflect on time, death, and the life he left behind, the two friends find themselves facing a truth neither science nor logic can solve: some bonds become so deeply woven into our existence that even the thought of absence feels unbearable.
