    Summary

    Rocky darted out of the way. The door shut with a decisive whirr-click.
    The endless glug-thud-squelch of Ryland Grace's body seemed very loud in the small room. He made a noise that sounded like, "Huh?"
    "Grace and Adrian talk now," Rocky commanded. They pointed one arm at them. "Talk until both normal."
    "What?" Adrian said, baffled.
    Rocky clattered several claws against the ground, a discord of pique. "You are both annoying! Always polite, polite, polite. Bland. Empty."

    In which Adrian and Grace haven't really been getting along, and Rocky takes matters into his own claws.

    Summary

    Simon wakes up in a new place with plants and a beach and an angel that takes care of him and keep telling him that he's not an angel, he thinks that maybe the angel just wants him to feel more normal about having a literal divine being so close all of the time.

    Or

    Grace wants to know where the hell this man came from, why did the eridians just shoved the poor guy in the biodome, why he doesn't have wings, why he looks like he went through hell and why he is actively but slowly mutating into... Something that Grace isn't sure what it should be yet. And he really wants Simon to stop thinking Ryland is an angel.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.
