Summary
It’s funny, because for all the time we’ve spent together and all the personal, intimate things I know about his life, his habits, and his responses to extreme stress or imminent death, I feel like I’m missing a lot of the basics about Rocky—like if those extra arms would make him crazy good at juggling. We’ve been too wrapped up in saving our respective planets for stuff like that.
Now, though, there’s nothing but time. Years of it. Enough to make a guy lose his mind several times over if he’s not careful. If I’m interested in something, better make it last. Move over astrophage, there’s a new life-threatening game in town, and its name is boredom.

Summary
“Two dead humans each have bag with name. Third human bag not have you name. Where Grace bag, question?”
A pit about ten miles deep forms in my stomach.
The embroidery. He can sense the raised lettering, and now that he’s started learning to read English, he can tell that the only bag with Latin script is not my bag. Great. Yeah, this is exactly the conversation I didn’t want to have today. Or ever.

Summary
Rocky is up to something.
It probably won’t kill us—we’ve put far too much work into keeping each other alive for that—but every time I try to get closer to see what he’s doing, he acts like I’m trying to murder his firstborn or something and shoos me away so I don’t “ruin Grace surprise”. Jerk.
