Summary
“Are you familiar with the concept of aliens, Mr. Clock?”
“Of course. The house where we used to live had a television. But they aren’t-, it was all just make-believe. Y’know, fairytales.”
“To humans, your species are make-believe, right? Some things are best kept secret.”

Summary
Ch.10 excerpt:
"Ryland Grace looked tired, the kind that Simon knew all too well; the kind that spoke of a deep seated desperation to keep moving forward whatever the cost. An exhaustion that hung around for so long that it became natural, eventual. Normal. A second skin one never took off because it was comfortable, because it fit better than anything else, and eventually you began to wonder what life was ever like without it. Had there ever been a life without it?
“What’s your name?”
Three words. Simple. One syllable each. An average, everyday question.
He couldn’t remember when he’d last been asked it."

Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

Summary
Grace forgets that most humans don't speak in a mish-mash of English and Eridian and Simon has a slightly different misunderstanding than the main one I've seen.

Summary
Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.
Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?
Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.
"Hello?"
--
Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.
But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -
Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.
