    Summary

    In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.

    A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.

    He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.

    Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.

    Monkey... something has followed you.

    (Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.

    When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.

    Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.

    Someone gives him Grace.)

    Summary

    Hizashi looked in the mirror. He was too pale. Even on his longest days, he’d never looked that ashen before…

    Hot water should help.

    Slipping under the spray, he groaned as his eyes slid closed and the heat worked its way into his muscles.

    He sat down on the floor of the shower, hunched over, bone-deep misery echoing through him. He squirmed, trying to find a position that was comfortable — or at least less uncomfortable. Gods, he needed to stretch his back…

    The tile was hard beneath his knees as he bowed over, rounding his spine under the hot water till his forehead was pressed to the floor. The stretch helped for a second, but before he could enjoy the reprieve, the pressure had already built back up.

    It was too much. Something was wrong, the realization suddenly hitting him that he really did need to call for help—
