Summary
“Human brain needs fix. Has eat, question?”
“Yep. My carefully rationed coma slurry,” I add pitifully.
“When Grace last sleep, question?”
Aw, darn. He got me.
Ryland Grace never really tried to think much about his lack of sleep problem. That is, until he met an alien that insists on watching him sleep.
(in which Rocky conducts a sleep experiment, and of course chaos and love ensue)

Summary
Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.
His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.
A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.
As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”
Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.
“I’m touch starved.”
Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

Summary
If Grace had to pick one word to describe the trip to Erid, it would be boring.
If he had to pick a second word to describe it . . . it would be lonely.
Or, on the way to Erid, Grace is getting pretty touch starved, but he had kinda already been touch starved? So he improvises.
