Ryland Grace hits a really excellent aro/ace headcanon sweet spot for me where like. He's a middle school teacher in San Francisco, he almost knows asexuality and aromanticism exist as labels. But he also strikes me as the kind of guy who never quite got to the point of introspection to go "And that's what's going on with me, specifically," at least not when he was still on Earth.
Anyway I think about two years into the journey to Erid he realizes this about himself while talking to an alien rock.
