    Summary

    Rocky watched his 22 crew mates die one by one, and now he is doomed to watch me die slowly as well.
    Unable to fix it.
    And unable to accept it.
    I tried talking about my impending death with him before, but he just refuses to even think about it.
    He just tells me that I won't die.
    Because he won't let me die.

    He will be okay.
    He will be back home, reunited with Adrian.
    After we arrive at Erid he doesn't need me anymore, I just have to hold on for that long.

    Or
    On the way to Erid, Grace suffers from malnutrition. Good thing he has a plan to fix it.

    Summary

    Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.

    “Grace ok, question?”

    “…no bud. I’m not.”

    “…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”

    Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.

    “Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”

    Or

    There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.

    Summary

    After Rocky and Grace land on Erid, Rocky is finally able to reunite with Adrian (though he has a LOT of anxiety surrounding it). He leaves the science team to tend to Grace in his weakened state and unbeknownst to Rocky, they're not as accommodating as promised.

     

    I read the book so there's some cannon from there, but the chase scene in the movie is very compelling. I also really like how the bio-dome is set up in the movie too- so there's a little bit of both! Also I like to jump around POVs, and I mark the changes with lines like this: ------. Hope you enjoy :)
