   Summary

   Maybe Stratt was right all along.
   Maybe I am going to die in space.
   I can feel it getting worse every day now.
   I feel it in the creaking of my bones, the burning in my eyes, the aches in my muscles, in my head, in the pit of my stomach.
   But there isn’t anything I can do about it now.

   OR, as Grace and Rocky journey back to Erid, the consequences of Grace's dwindling food supply begin to show, and Rocky becomes desperate to save him.
