   Summary

   Grace debates on killing himself in the airlock.
   ‘He’d shiver, hugging his quilt closer as he sat cross legged with his back to Mary, staring out at the stars. They were beautiful- he’s glad he was able to save them.

   Ilyukhina’s heroin was on one side of him, Yao’s gun on the other. Two choices, three, if you count him opening the airlock. Four if you count starvation. But he knows Simon wouldn’t let it get to that.’
