    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "You know, Rock," you began. You weren't fighting against the waver in your voice. "I don't have a lot waiting for me back home."

    I waited patiently. You brought up a hand to your [face], slid it back until your fingers slipped into your [hair]. I could pinpoint a slight vibration on the lower half of your [face]; your [lips] were trembling. I had never wished in my entire life to touch someone so intently, then, even when the phantom pain within my core kicked up at the mere concept.

    "I am so scared." It took me a minute to understand what you said; it sounded more like a cough or an exhale rather than words. "This is so stupid but I think you are the first person I have ever… understood? Cared about? I'm so sorry." You were leaking now, profusely. You were shaking so much that I thought you may be sick or injured. "The night before we say goodbye and I have to pull the entire 'I think I have feelings' bullcrud. Tale as old as time. And you're… whatever the Eridian equivalent of married is. You know, I never understood why people did that. I never had the inclination to. Until now, I guess."

    "Refer to marriage or share embarrassing feelings question?"

    You spat out a crazed laugh. "I don't know. God. Both?"

    I rolled my ball closer to you and angled so that the mesh layer lined up exactly as I desired.

    "[Grace]," I sang, my voice felt detached. Distant. You angled your [head] back so you could [look] at me. "Call me the word again. Do not make me explain which one."

    I stuck my hand through the mesh until it reached the back of your [head]. It wasn't thin enough for me to be completely dexterous, but it was enough for me to run my fingers through your [hair].

    "Yes, dear," you had breathed. And you had [cried] and I extended my arm as far as it could so I could brush my fingers across your [forehead], across your [cheeks], across your closed [eyes]. And I wouldn't admit it, my pride wouldn't allow it, but for once I did not mind the wetness because it told me you were alive.

    Summary

    Grace had once explained to me the meaning of their surname in their native language. Elegance of form, beauty in motion.
