   Summary

   Ryland Grace is doing great. He has all he ever wanted really! A sentient rock-spider best friend, delicious taumeba slurry, and no relationship troubles! it's hard to have any when you're 12.5 lightyears away from any other human.

   Or well.. he thought he was 12.5 lightyears away from any other human. But one day when Rocky finds an odd ship- er coffin, uh- submarine? floating in space, Grace is forced to face a piece of humanity again. A piece of humanity that reflects the ugly, angry, and upsetting parts of being alive. Can Grace fix this broken man, or will his need for connection bring him down so low he can't get back up?
