Summary
Faced with the growing realization of Ralph's role in her life, it is up to Vanellope to decide how to convince him to officially be her dad.
Orrr, she can just abandon ship and stamp all these thoughts down until they stop messing up her life. Yeah, that sounds about right. She'll go with that one.

Summary
“Need word,” Rocky says in baby-talk Eridian for me. The translator dutifully repeats “need word” in English a second later.
After fifteen minutes of bewildering back and forth between the three of us, we determine the word he needs is “declension.”
A year into the journey to Erid, Grace faces down his most formidable academic gauntlet since astrophage: the five-part polyphonic Eridian language. It’s only fair after Rocky mastered English, human mannerisms, Grace mannerisms- without so much as one complaint. And if learning Eridian might temper some of Grace’s desperate, near-complete dependence on Rocky in the future… well. That’s his own business.
Eridian breaks Grace’s brain, heart, and soul- and puts it back together.
