    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    Giorno is four years old, and he is fairly certain his Papa does not like him very much.

    The evidence, however, keeps becoming inconveniently difficult to explain.

     

    Or: 5 times Giorno was certain his Papa hated him, and the one time he wasn’t quite so sure.

    Summary

    We’re getting a few calls into the station regarding our announcement of the Sun’s early retirement. Frankly Night Vale, I think you’re overreacting a little bit. Humanity has been around for millennia already, I’d say we’ve had a pretty good run. And this way we all get to know exactly when we’re going to die! Who hasn’t wished for that before, huh?

    Now another important update from Dr. Grace: he has found a rock.

    Summary

    “Did you actually know him, or are you just making this up?” some random kid Mana doesn’t know the name of, and doesn’t care to know, asks.

    Mana pulls up a new slide. Her eighth grade class photo, with two red circles over it. One over her, one over Dr Grace. The time and date is underlined on the bottom of the photo.

    “He held a few classes about the Petrova problem as it was introduced. He knew about as much as the rest of the world, and he still made a point to try to help educate us,” Mana says. “He encouraged me to enjoy science, and after he left, I could have stopped. But he told me once, ‘just try’, and while it seems like not much, it still impacts me to this day.”

    or, ryland grace was once mana's teacher. now she works with astrophage just like he did.
