   Summary

   The Eridians find a bloody submarine near their planet, and Grace is surprised by how the terrified man who came along with it captures his attention. Now, he needs to get Simon to trust him enough to open up about his past, the injuries they found him with, and the reason he refuses to sleep.

   ----

   Blending of movie genres ~ Simon experiences PHM-level hope for the first time in his life, and Grace gets thrown headfirst into horrors beyond his comprehension.
