Summary
Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.
His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.
A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.
As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”
Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.
“I’m touch starved.”
Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

Summary
Grace has gotten good at keep his hands busy with big science and model making, busy enough that he doesn't think of the two bodies he'd sent into the nothingness of space, or the freezing Earth, or his kids. Grief feels like walking into your home and finding your couch is missing, your favorite mug isn't in the cupboard, and all your furniture's been replaced and rearranged. It's like trying to circle the same routines and stubbing your toe on your desk leg because it isn't where it's supposed to be. It's like pacing the same room until your legs can't carry you anymore.
OR
Grace grieves what once was, what could've been, and what remains of his students.

Summary
“How does it feel… to love Adrian?”
Rocky, seemingly caught off guard, angles his carapace up towards me. He chirps in surprise. “Why ask, question?”
“Just answer,” I say, looking away from him. I can’t help but flush with embarrassment asking the question. It sounds stupid and cheesy coming out of my mouth but I have to know: is love truly constant throughout the universe? Is their love the same as ours? What does love mean for Eridians?
After the conversation about relativity, Grace and Rocky talk about love while making chain.
OR
Making movie Rocky and Grace endure book Rocky and Grace’s chain-making-and-spooling endeavours. (With an aroace coming-to-jesus moment thrown in there)

Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.
