    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    Pins and needles in my hands and feet have turned into full-on numbness in some areas. My legs ache. I am weak and tired. My gums have finally started bleeding. My arms display a colorful wave of bruises where blood has been taken. I have only a few days of coma slurry left. And. There are gaps in my memory. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad that I am able to sometimes remember this.

    I can also recognize the fact that I have become more withdrawn and irritable, but it’s as if I can’t physically stop myself from acting on those emotions instead of dealing with them in a rational manner.

    I sit in the corner of my habitat, knees drawn up and face pressed against the xenonite, away from the commotion. They’re letting me be for now, but I can tell every Eridian is focused on me regardless as they pack up Armando and other medical detritus.

    “Want Rocky here,” I mutter stubbornly against the translucent surface. They know this. I know they know this. I don’t understand why they’re keeping me from him. There’s a physical agony in my chest. I miss him so much.

    For Eridians, the six of six of six is special, and today marks Grace's 216th anniversary. Measured, of course, by Earth's orbit around its star Sol.

    In the morning, while the fog is still high, Adrian finds Rocky at the beach.
