    Summary

    Another planet has noticed that 40 Eridani is brightening again, and its inhabitants have showed up to say hello... and to make a very strange offer: each of Erid’s representatives may make a wish. And what Grace and Rocky both want most, but think they can never have, is to better understand the strange way in which the other sees the world. No AI was used in the writing or illustrating of this story.

    Summary

    The last part, he whispers like a prayer ripped from his throat, “it leveled the building.”
    “Leveled” - it’s a term I don’t recognize in this context, but I know the power of astrophage. The explosion would have been catastrophic. I can’t stop myself from warbling out a few nonsensical notes – shock at the news, sadness for the loss of those people, trepidation for what must come next, heartbreak for Grace. How well did he know them? How well did they know him?
    -
    Rocky has some thoughts about Grace. They painstakingly talk through those feelings.
    My own take on Grace’s last day on Earth.
