Grace was alone on 40 Eridani, he knew that. He was okay with that, after all he had Rocky. But something else was here now, something that looked human, that was human. It made the part of himself that Grace had thought was buried, the part of him that longed for the connections human could give. Hugs without a firm metal in the way, hearing his name and not just the music that followed him. He longed for it all.
