    Summary

    She replayed the game until it was the only thing in her life that still made her feel anything. Then she died, and God asked her where she wanted to go.
    Aster Loxley wakes up in The Freak Circus two months before Day 1, in a body that is not entirely human, in an apartment she did not rent, with a job she did not apply for and a script she has memorized by heart. She has a plan: stay quiet, stay hidden, let the protagonist have her story and help her when needed.
    The plan does not survive the morning she sees a red clown shoved to the ground in the street.

    What's that last one all about?

    There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
