   Summary

   Ryland Grace has been living on Erid for five years after the astrophage incident seeming living his best life. He copes with being lonely, he's made peace with it. While he has his best friend, Rocky, that doesnt change the way he yearns for another humans contact. He understood that, he did. He was okay with it, until rocky decided he wouldn't be okay with it anymore.

   or

   Rocky essentially drags Grace to show him the human they found
