    Summary

    Alinua helps Kendal wash his hair for the first time.
    --
    "You know, I've been wanting to do you hair for a while, actually." Alinua admits.

    "Really?"

    "I just thought it would be… nice, I suppose. You deserved a chance to relax, and I always enjoyed styling my hair whenever I got the rare chance to."

    "This is nice." Kendal says. "I'm glad you're here."

    Summary

         “Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”

     

         “This upsets you.” Rocky observes.

    Summary

    One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.

    Summary

    Distantly, Grace recognizes what he's experiencing is either impossible or has already happened -- but it doesn't make the nightmare any easier to process. The science behind dreaming and nightmares is easy to explain to an Eridian. The emotional turmoil that comes with it is...not so much.

    Summary

    Eridian brains shut down completely when they sleep, that’s why they watch over each other during their sporadic sleep cycles. There’s absolutely no activity going on in there, except for the individual worker organisms going around and fixing things up. Eridian’s brains “reactivate” once their bodies are good and ready to wake up, and not earlier. The point is, they don’t experience anything remotely similar to human dreams.
    So, how do I explain nightmares to someone who literally cannot dream?
    ---
    OR, Ryland Grace is more deeply affected by their experiences with life and death than he lets on... at least while awake. As his and Rocky's mission progresses, sleep becomes something Grace dreads, for fear of what his unconscious mind will put him through. Rocky, in typical Rocky fashion, approaches the problem with the best solutions he has to offer.

    Summary

    “Are you feeling alright, Doctor?”

    Legundo has been having dreams.
    What do you do when the only doctor in town starts slipping? The mind is a fragile thing. It can be shattered and mended and shattered again. How can Legs stop an entire town from falling apart when he can barely keep himself from doing the same thing?

    Summary

    The Unknown isn't the only place with darkness. It resides everywhere, even when there is also light. Often, it's so subtle that one may not notice it at all. But sometimes on the darkest nights, shadows cover everything within reach, and even the brightest light cannot stop them. At times like these, the best thing to do is to strike a match, find another pair of hands in the darkness, and wait for the sun to rise.

    Summary

    Wirt knew, on a basic level, that drowning was not good for your health, even in non-fatal cases.
    He knew, in theory, that it could cause issues.
    But Greg didn’t seem to be having issues as he walked around the hospital room telling everyone about their adventures.
    Greg was fine.
    And for some reason, that made Wirt forget that the same might not apply to him.
    —————
    The boys wake up from their adventure in The Unknown, and Wirt learns about two things: Greg’s wish in Cloud City, and the physical side effects of drowning.
