    Summary

    Ryland Grace has tattoos. Four, to be exact, and Simon assumes they must mean something important—something intentional, cultural, and understood. On Eden, after all, their tattoos always are.

    But Grace’s ink doesn’t behave like symbolism. Instead, they are road maps through his life, a physical manifestation of a messy, painful, and confusing past. And, the more Simon learns about them, the more he realizes they were never meant to be seen as art at all.

    Simon keeps looking anyway.

    Summary

    “I'm good. Just have a slight headache,” Grace muttered, knowing he wasn’t fooling Rocky by insisting he was totally and completely fine, “Gonna get some medication in me, lay down for a few minutes, then I’ll be right as rain.”

    “Grace said body was good. Head pain was not mentioned. Rocky no understand rain statement; explain, question?”

    Rocky rolled behind Grace as he started back toward the medbay, resigned to his fate as another pulse of pain shot through his skull. He tried to shake it off, clearing his throat, “Right as rain means…uh, ‘good as new,’ I guess? Does that make sense?”

    He stumbled over a discarded jumpsuit on the floor, hissing when his already bruised knees dug into the metal floor. God, he was really stupid like this, huh?

    “Grace wrong as rain now.”

     

    (Grace has a migraine, Rocky helps as best as he can.)

    Summary

    "Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.

    And there was a needle coming towards me.

    Wait."
    ...

    Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.
