    Summary

    To be completely honest, I don't remember much about soulmarks. Well, I don't remember much about anything, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that I'd remember what a soulmark is and nothing else. I think it has something to do with soulmates...?

    Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. All he's got is himself, his precarious memories, and this darn soulmark on his arm.

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    Moving day. 

    The day I leave the confined comforts of the Hail Mary into the ridiculously toxic-to-humans atmosphere of Erid. What could possibly go wrong?

    Rocky is ecstatic. 

    And I’m…well, let’s just go with understandably petrified

    Or, the backstory for why Rocky gets annoyed when Grace doesn't shut the door at the end of the movie.
