I swore I'd never find myself this enchanted by a movie that does not pass the bechdel test

Rewatching and realized that during Sign of the Times, we all hear her singing the lyrics and contextualize it with the knowledge that Grace is sent to space. Just stop your crying, have the time of your life; we can meet again somewhere, somewhere far away from here. But while I'm sure Eva knows in the back of her mind that Grace could be sent to space, it's a far off enough possibility that she wouldn't be thinking about it. If we really want to hear it as *her* in that moment, I think she was thinking more about her being sent to prison for the rest of her life after launch and Grace going on without her. Remember everything will be alright. We can meet again somewhere. Somewhere far away from here.

It's ok, it's just that when Grace first meets Eva she picks up the Earth beanbag from his desk & then when she leaves him the astrophage dots she tosses it back to him & then he carries it through interstellar space to ultimately give it to Rocky. And then at the same time Rocky gives Grace his waving-xenonite-Grace-figurine when they first meet, which Grace keeps with him the entire time, to ultimately send it back to Eva.

At the beginning of PHM Grace lives in freaking San Jose, California. (Fictionalized version of it but close enough.) Assuming he's been there for most of his life that man had experienced real fog maybe twice ever. He would have no connection to fog at all. San Jose gets 300 sunny days a year yes I looked it up. The scenes we see in/outside his school it is nothing but sun.

The fog comes in when he gets kidnapped recruited by Eva Stratt. The scenery changes. When he gets off the jet, when he's with her on the top of the boat outside the party, when he's with her outside the facility before the explosion. That's where his attachment to fog comes from.

Grace's memories of fog are of Eva.
