    Summary

    Eva Stratt reviews the beetle probe footage Ryland Grace sent back; thirty-one hours of him solving the astrophage problem, introducing Rocky, and explaining how to save the sun. But across every video, in the background of every frame, is someone Grace has never mentioned. Someone injured. Someone healing. Someone who shouldn't be there at all.

    Stratt is very good at her job. She notices everything.

    Summary

    “I called it the Good Luck quilt,” Grace says. “It’s all symbols of luck from across the world, it was a parting gift before the mission - but let’s not get into all that. It’s silly but it’s comforted me through some pretty hard times. I thought…I don’t know. I’m probably just being sentimental.”

    Simon grasps the edge of the quilt that he can reach, if only to make sure it’s real. It’s beautiful. There’s not a lot of color left in the world, and colorful, soft fabric of this quality is worth a fortune. The patterns are joyful, almost childish. For some reason that Simon can’t quite articulate through the sickness and exhaustion, it makes him suddenly very certain that this isn’t the COI.

    In Simon’s old universe, fabric, thread, and yarn are all precious commodities. He's had to learn to mend clothes and knit socks out of practicality. On Erid, it's a way to pay back what he owes, to make friends, and eventually, to heal.
    A love letter fiber crafts and the people who do them, an exploration of physical disability, and of course, a very soft love story.

    Summary

    Simon remembers when bathing was something that never took longer than 3 minutes. In, wash, and out. Not like he had a choice, with the dwindling resources. But it had seemed so thoughtless, periodic and routine that he'd never given it much consideration.

    Grace helps Simon wash his hair.
