    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.

    Summary

    "Grace’s first observation was that Rocky was warm. It was probably the sole thing his stupid hindbrain had latched onto. Warm meant fire. Fire meant food. So really, why wouldn’t it? There were other things— infinitely more important things— to notice. Like how, for instance, Rocky wasn’t putting his entire weight onto Grace. Any force he applied was carefully measured and calculated to make sure that Grace didn’t get crushed by the weight.

    But, most importantly, Rocky was warm, especially under a fully luminous sun."

    [OR]

    Grace's touch-starved subconscious conjures up a dream about hugging Rocky. Rocky sees what unfiltered sobbing looks like for the first time. He panics accordingly.

    There’s no way that I can watch him sleep the whole time.

    I try anyway.

    Summary

    ‘You have three hours.’

    Stratt’s words echo in Ryland’s head. He is huddled on top of a building surrounded by satellite dishes, curling up as small as he can make himself, legs pulled up to his chest, arms slung around them, head buried in his knees. He must look pretty pathetic but no one will see him up here and even if they did, he’s kind of over it. They just asked him to die, he deserves a bit of a mental breakdown, thank you very much.

    Or

    Three times Ryland Grace wasn't given enough time to think about where he wants to go and one time he was given all the time in the world.

    Summary

    On the way to Erid, after things have calmed down, something happens to me.
    I’m scared.
    Like all the time.


    The effects of everything he's experienced catch up to Grace.
