Summary
An incident at Grover Cleveland Middle School changes everything; Colt and Ryland try not to fall apart.
~
Ryland drops the water bottle. It drops to the ground with a disgusting clang. The sound reverberates through his ears, and he flinches. But his brain is spinning spinning spinning, and the man with the gun moves closer. Lunging toward his classroom, Ryland twists the lock from the other side and slams it closed, deserting himself in the hallway.
“Barricade this door now! Use desks. Books. Backpacks. Anything and everything you can find! Do it now!” he shouts. His voice doesn’t betray him this time.
“Mr. Grace! Mr. Grace!” he hears.
Olivia runs to the window, terror wide in her brown eyes. Kids should never have to experience something like this. They're in school. It’s supposed to be safe.
It’s supposed to be safe.
“Get back! Barricade now!” Ryland yells. “You’ll be okay.”

Summary
“Grace not focused on work again,” Rocky points out from across our workspace. I just barely stop myself from throwing the microscope my hands are white-knuckle gripping. “Why Grace always distracted now, question?”
Because you won’t touch me, I want to answer, even though I know I can’t. Because I’m so lonely even though I’m not even really alone. And I feel so absurdly bad about it. Please touch me, please, please, please—
or: ryland grace is starving for touch. it's making him a little bit irritable. rocky is no better off.

“He said to turn the TV on,” Jackson tells him, voice a little further, holding the phone away from himself. He sounds close again when he asks Colt, “Why?”

“What chan—” Jackson starts to relay, before he cuts himself off. “What? Holland, what—”
Colt’s Dad says something indistinguishable, too far away for him to hear. Moments of silence follow where Colt knows they’re watching the same thing he is, seeing his brother’s face— their son’s face— Ryland’s face framed on the television, just above the words Hail Mary, and save our sun, and suicide mission.

Summary

Eva meets him head-on. “Ryland was a good man. He will be in good company on the Hail Mary.” There’s an impossible weight to her voice when she adds, “Thank you for him. You should be proud.”
Colt tightens his grip on Holly’s hand, pushes his face into her shoulder. He has no idea what to say to that; it doesn’t sound like anybody does, the silence ringing around them as the words linger so heavily, he thinks he could choke.
or: colt and the rest of ryland's family come together, mourn ryland, and meet with eva stratt to hear about ryland's mission on the hail mary and his last days on earth.
