one thing i love about the project hail mary book specifically is how grace's internal narration is constantly talking about how fucking great rocky is. grace literally never shuts up about it. he's obsessed with his buddy. he is 100% certain rocky's the greatest thing since sliced bread. frankly he'd probably say sliced bread has nothing on rocky.
"rocky's a genius" "rocky can build anything" "he's the best engineer on both of our planets" "eridians are all smart but i'm pretty sure he's extra smart even for his species" "he's so modest even though he's so capable" "he picks up ideas so quickly" "he'd never give up" i'm misquoting but just off the top of my head these are ALL examples of grace's endless well of admiration for rocky. grace basically just spends the whole novel making heart-eyes for his rock-spider alien soulmate best friend
