In another life the three people aboard the Hail Mary survive the tourney to Tau Ceti.

In another life it’s not Ryland Grace meeting rocky because he’s down on earth teaching, it’s three other people.

In another life, Ryland lives this monotonous life, with no changing variables, just waiting until the Hail Mary sends earths saving grace.

In another life rocky and Ryland Grace never meet.

In another life Ryland would be fine with never meeting rocky, because who even is rocky? Aliens exist?

In another life Ryland Grace is a coward, but he stayed with his kids.

In another life the scientist and the other two crew members aboard the Hail Mary figure out a way to save Earth and Erid.

In another life rocky and Grace don’t know each other, but their planets get saved.

We got to Stratt and Grace in her office and I was like:

She is going to force him, that’s what I would do, it’s like the logical thing, he knows everything that the others were going to do. It’s the logical thing people!

(X as in possibly reader?)

X being with Ryland Grace and then Ryland being sent to space. X and Colt reunite out of:

Colt: 'my twin brother is gone do you know anything?'

and X: 'my boyfriend is gone do you know anything?'

Them finding out about the whole Ryland being sent to space thing (very bad grieving and coping mechanisms from both parties) possibly grieving together and all of that????

But there's like a tension between X and Colt because X is the person Ryland loved, therefore Colt loves them out of X loving his twin brother and he thinks X is great.

For X, Colt literally has Ryland's face, like the face from their boyfriend now in space.

BUT LIKE Colt won't be with X because he can't do that to his twin brother and X won't be with Colt because they can't do that to their lost in space boyfriend. 🧐😟
