    Summary

    There's something sad about Ryland Grace that everyone seems to notice.

    Young or old, friend or not-quite-foe, he always just seems slightly off. Ajar somehow. Like walking down an art gallery only to find one painting has been hung upside down - nothing you'd clock immediately, but once you see it you wonder why.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Beloved by all, but not enough to save him. Ryland Grace's struggles throughout the years with accepting himself for what he is.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    “You sleep, I’ll watch.” 

    We both know that they are not going to sleep. We both know that the moment they go still, they will be dead. And I will be alone. But I won’t say that, and they won’t say that, even if it’s the truth. 

    “You…save Erid,” they say. 

    Not a question. 

    I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope. 

    Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.  

    I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. “You sleep, I will watch,” I tell them again. 

    And they go to sleep. 

    And they never wake up again. 

    Rocky loses everyone on his crew.

    Years later, he meets an alien.
