   Summary

   “You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.

   “Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”

   A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host.
