    Summary

    "The cold, white gaze of Mary's walls greets me first. All the lifetimes of things that I witnessed, went through, was complicit in have never stopped weighing on me, and now, sick and bed-bound, I have no other choice than to let myself think about it. No excuses of saving Earth, no desperate rescue mission for Rocky before only a corpse was left of his brilliance, no more trying to fend off the looming risk of malnourishment. There's nothing else but to sit with it. And I don't know what I'm meant to do with it all. I really don't know."

    -

    Ryland Grace is a slowly dying man, carrying the unbelievable trauma and guilt of having to be forced onto a suicide mission for the sake of humanity. He cannot hold onto this alone, not forever. But what on earth would Rocky, the one who he loves above all, think of him if he learns the truth? That he is not the selfless man who gave up his life to save his home that they both thought he was?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace found the gun on the forty-third day.

    He’d been reorganizing the storage bay — not because it needed reorganizing, but because his hands needed something to do and his brain needed something small enough to manage — when his fingers closed around the case at the back of the cabinet. Compact. Heavier than it looked.

    He knew what it was before he opened it.

    Yao’s gun. Captain Yao, who had died in a coma before the Hail Mary reached Tau Ceti, along with Ilyukhina. Who had carried a gun on the mission for reasons Grace understood too well.
