^ simon is making it up to rocky, helping him fix rocky's bed. this takes MUCH less time to do than when grace initially helped build it, despite 1 less limb in the equation

^ simon and grace are divvying up the clothes they have, seeing who gets what and which clothes they're gonna share. simon basically says "whatever" to "owning" any of the clothes options, despite grace's best effort to get simon to claim some clothes for his own

^ grace and rocky have a show they've been watching episodically day by day (just as an activity for them to look forward to and not go stir crazy), and damn them if some blood covered mutant human is gonna break their streak. you can headcannon for yourself what show it is

Theories: 1. They're an independent group of scientists that are paid to do illegal experiments by 3rd parties. Explains why they're lying about their experiments (you can't just "save stars") and maybe Rocky (Robot made by Grace? ACTUAL alien?) Will likely do psychological experiments on me, may have already started. Keep on your toes.

2. We're on the other side of the QR. Don't wanna think about this one too much, it'll hurt if it turns out to be wrong.
