    Summary

    All of Erid waited to greet their saviors. The brave twenty-three Eridians that left to save their planet. Only one emerged. And… something else.

    Erid has seen little of Grace and Rocky. The alien is sick. Rocky is the only one who knows how to take care of it. They have clung to each other desperately tight. And Grace is worried. Rocky has not seen Adrian more than a handful of times since they arrived six months ago. Rocky has essentially no social life. They have not left each other’s sides for nearly five years. This is, obviously, a problem.

    Grace isn’t as sick. He doesn’t need Rocky to take care of him anymore. And Grace will do what he has to so that Rocky can resume living a normal life with Adrian. So what if Grace absolutely can’t be alone? So what if the thoughts are getting overwhelming? So what if Adrian kind of hates him? This is for Rocky’s sake. He’ll be okay.

    But Grace has severely underestimated how much he needs Rocky. How much Rocky needs him.
    —————————————————————————
    Or: Grace and Rocky are severely codependent. Adrian gets tangled up in their mess, too.

    Summary

    “Rocky thought Grace was back on ship for “me time” Question?”

    I had explained the concept to Rocky with a little difficulty. From what I've learned, Eridians are deeply communal people. Solitude was rare, and they didn't seem to mind that one bit. I think I'd go crazy, but I'm also on the more introverted end of the spectrum by human standards.
    I’d told Rocky I needed “Me time” because that's what I thought I needed. My hands had started shaking trying to type out a new word we’d just learned, and Rocky’s robotic voice gained a sharp edge that it hadn’t had before. turns out, I was wrong."

    Summary

    Rocky drops his tools, making Grace jump. “Nightmare? Grace had nightmare?”

    He sounds panicked. Grace hurries to reassure him. “No, no, not a nightmare. Just a…just a dream.”

    “Just dream?”

    Grace sighs. He wrings his hands and sniffles. “We were…on a beach. Together. Sharing the same atmosphere. Safe and…and happy. You asked me about the constellations.”

    “Rocky no understand,” Rocky says. “Sound like good dream. Why Grace sad, question?”
