    Summary

    Ryland thought once he got to Erid, that was it. He'd live out the rest of his days with his best friend, perhaps teach the Eridian pebbles about Earth. Retirement sounded nice, but as nice as Erid was, it would never be like Earth. As homesick as he was, he kept going. As lonely as he was, he kept living.

    Then, Rocky knocks on his door one morning, claiming the Eridians found another human. One that was alive.

    Or, introspection and character study, and what happens when two sides of the same coin meet. What happens when loneliness is no longer a thing, when two people who have been alone for so long finally have someone to cling to?
