   Summary

   Grace loves having his own personal beach to swim at. That is, until the ocean turns into blood and a body appears out of nowhere, floating like a corpse and only mostly human. As Simon recovers, he and Grace realize that their worlds are two branches in time- one where Grace went to space, and one where he didn't. One where the stars survived, and one where they didn't.

   If Simon only exists because of a choice this Grace never made, can Simon forgive him? Can Grace ever forgive himself?
