Summary
I never noticed. There are no mirrors in my house; there are no mirrors anywhere on Erid, at least not in the sense that we understand them. There’s reflective surfaces, but not intentionally so. My attention has been tugged this way and that, always something new to discover, or else something new to research in the endless encyclopedia I was left with. I had no reason to look at my own body beyond what was necessary to keep it clean.
But now I’m sitting here, and it stares me in the face. Emphasized by my position, my stomach rises up and over my waistband, forming a soft mass that spills slightly over my sides.
“Oh,” I say out loud. I run a hand over this new pudge that probably isn’t new at all, startling slightly at the texture of it. Soft. Yielding. Slightly cold from the water evaporating on it. I touch my body like it isn’t my own, because for a long, long time, it wasn’t. I touch it the way Rocky touched me once he finally had the option to, committing everything to memory, matching it to what he already knew.

Or: In the two years that he spent on Erid, Grace has changed in just about every way imaginable. But one way in particular feels more significant than the rest.

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.

He might have taken some pushing to get here. But if you push him until he moves, damn, the guy just keeps going.
She’ll have to remember that.

Summary
“People think we’re—together. Like, together together.” Her expression didn’t change. “Sleeping together.”
“They do,” Stratt said. “Did something happen, regarding this?”

Other people's assumptions hurt more than they should.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I am trying to determine what the problem here is,” Stratt said. “If nobody is bothering you, nobody is making accusations of sexual coercion, and it’s not interfering with any actual sexual interests you have—then why are you being so insistent? What do you want me to say?”
“I…” I didn’t know. I guess I wanted her to commiserate, maybe. Acknowledge that it was stupid and wrong and they were stupid and wrong for thinking it.
