   Summary

   "Holy Mary, giver of grace and mercy, pray for this sinner and be with me at the hour of my death. Amen."

   Simon dies choking on blood and can't seem to wash it off his hands when he wakes. Grace is unable to offer his namesake to himself. Rocky has to keep them both alive.

   Alone on the path to Erid, haunted by decisions that were never theirs to make, Grace and Simon must learn to offer themselves the same kindness and goodness they find in one another.
