    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a strange room. Again.

    Why does this keep happening? Where is he? Why are there twenty other humans here too? Ryland only recognizes some of them but everyone there clearly knows him. That can’t be good…

    At least Rocky is here with him!

    Summary

    Everything was too soft. I wanted pressure. The last time I'd felt that had been when I'd been squeezed in between my chair and the monitors, and that hadn't exactly been pleasant. I wanted someone, on purpose, to press against my skin and muscle, and I wanted to feel it.

    Just the thought of it made me want to weep.

    God, I was pathetic.

    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.
