    Summary

    Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.

    "I've got it reversed," Grace decides.

    I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.

    "Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."

    Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.

    "This is actually a second cousin," It says.

    I decide not to ask.

    -

    Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

    Summary

    I don’t have Rocky to watch over me whilst I sleep, but the star model helps, a reminder of him every time I open my eyes. It doesn’t take long for me to start touching a hand to it when I get up, a kind of greeting. Good morning, Rocky. I hope you’re safe, wherever you are.
