    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace — single-income, teacher’s salary — owns beachfront property.

    He never, ever thought he’d see the day. His rent-controlled apartment in the Bay Area was older than him, split with two roommates, and still ate most of his monthly earnings. Thoughts of homeownership were infrequent, segregated to extended school breaks — enough days off his bike to send him exercise-endorphin-crashing down an internet rabbit hole.

    The top answer, every time?

    Get married. Double-income; split the mortgage. Sell your soul for a down payment.

    Erid’s ammonia atmosphere is less suffocating.

    Rocky makes music; Ryland finds a home. Other Eridians learn and teach in tandem. And they change, change, change.

    Summary

    "Rocky is..." Rocky paused. The sound he made was low, the Eridian equivalent of a long exhale, the kind that preceded news that was anything except good. "...not well."

    There was no such thing as a safe dose of radiation. No threshold below which you were one hundred percent safe.
