    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    On Erid, Ryland Grace has spent decades building a new life among the Eridians beside his closest friend, Rocky. But while humans grow old, Eridians do not understand aging the same way—and for the first time, Rocky is forced to confront the terrifying idea of losing someone he loves.

    As Grace begins to reflect on time, death, and the life he left behind, the two friends find themselves facing a truth neither science nor logic can solve: some bonds become so deeply woven into our existence that even the thought of absence feels unbearable.
