Funny thought I just had where Grace time travels back to pre-launch or whatever. He lowkey missed Earth but now misses Erid, where heâs lived for decades at this point, even more. Sure, all the teeth that fell out when he developed scurvy are now back, his bones donât hurt all the time any more (even after they grew thicker to compensate for Eridian gravity), and he has better range of motion now that his arm isnât covered in burn scars, butâ by time traveling, he left behind his friends and family, his students, his platonic soulmate. Obviously, he needs to be on the Hail Mary when itâs time to launch if he wants any chance of seeing Rocky and Adrian and everyone else again.
From an outsiderâs perceptive, Grace is⊠acting strange. He turned up one day wearing a flowing skirt and rocking pierced ears, heavy with earrings that were a deep brown, interspersed with a beautiful shade of green. He seems to bounce slightly when he walks, like when astronauts walk in low gravity environments. He suddenly canât stand to eat around other people, and looks somewhat squeamish when others eat around him. He becomes teary eyed at the weirdest things and he couldnât stop staring at DuBois and Shapiro (which some speculate is because he finally accepted the duoâs invitation for a threesome), or Olesya and YĂĄo (which people are more confused about).
Moving on, Grace obviously volunteers to become the science lead after itâs âdiscoveredâ that he has the coma gene, and people, especially Stratt, are like â???â When she asks him about it, he tilts his head and responds word for word what she told him in her office way back before (later?). He even smiles slightly when he says, âI donât even have a dog,â though the smile doesnât reach his eyes. He understands why she did what she did, but still hasnât forgiven her.
Anyway, I think itâs just so hilarious that Grace randomly talks about someone named âRockyâ all the time but no one knows who this person is. Heâll go offhandedly, âOh, Rocky would love this!â Or âShit, Rocky would tell me Iâve been up too long, Iâm going to bed.â When someone tries to ask for more details, he looks uncomfortable and clams up. Or, alternatively, heâll say, âOh, heâs my best friend! My other half, really. I canât wait to see him again,â with a bittersweet look on his face. Through some miscommunication and other shenanigansâ maybe Grace lets something slip while drunk or sleep deprived or whateverâ people come to the conclusion that Rocky is dead and Grace volunteered for the mission to âspeed upâ their reunion.
