    Summary

    There was a great benefit that Grace hadn’t taken into account when he first came to Erid – too focused on making sure that he didn’t die to pay attention to anything else. See, Eridians didn’t have the same concepts of gender and sex that humans had. If only he could shake his own internal struggles.

    Summary

    I wake up immediately feeling wrong. I don’t know from what yet, I just feel wrong. My head feels wrong, my arm feels wrong, my stomach feels wrong. Everything is wrong.

    Summary

    “Genders aren’t just social status markers but also part of the human, question? Part of who they are, question?”

    “Yes! Exactly,” I say excitedly.

    Rocky shifts from side to side as he processes the new information.

    “So… it is important for Grace to be female?”

    I freeze. Oh.

    Summary

    All life on Earth evolved, in the beginning, from aquatic life forms. To many, the call to return to the ocean is instinctual, a feeling deep in their bones that goes far beyond any rational reasoning. To float amongst the waves, to kick and splash until it feels as though you were always part of the water, is to be entirely free.

    --Or--

    Grace gets access to an ocean, and immediately forgets everything else he's supposed to be doing.
    Rocky is not as thrilled by this.

    Summary

    “Rocky thought Grace was back on ship for “me time” Question?”

    I had explained the concept to Rocky with a little difficulty. From what I've learned, Eridians are deeply communal people. Solitude was rare, and they didn't seem to mind that one bit. I think I'd go crazy, but I'm also on the more introverted end of the spectrum by human standards.
    I’d told Rocky I needed “Me time” because that's what I thought I needed. My hands had started shaking trying to type out a new word we’d just learned, and Rocky’s robotic voice gained a sharp edge that it hadn’t had before. turns out, I was wrong."
