    Summary

    “Grace!” Rocky says. “Look!”

    I look. Then I gasp.

    “Is Adrian!” Rocky says.

    (or, what happens once Ryland Grace becomes the sole human inhabitant of Erid.)

    Summary

    Yáo registered the yellow first. 

    Bright yellow, the color of a hazard sign - it was Dr. Grace's familiar raincoat, unmistakable even at distance, the man wearing it moving fast across the open ground that separated the administrative buildings from the interior fence line.

    Grace was running.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
