I'm just thinking about the fandom thing where grace gets turned into an eridian to make him live longer. When it actually happens, i don't think he would know how to move his body, let alone speak
i'm just imagining him, trapped in his own head, while Rocky hugs/comforts him, mute and immobile. like, everybody knows he's alive and thinking, but he just physically hasn't figured out how to do anything. Definitely extremely horrifying for him in the moment but it would be sweet to think about.
and imagine how it would be for rocky; you've done this experimental procedure, one of the many firsts in history's you've now got under your belt. Your best friend will finally live along with you for the rest of your life, but right now, he's barely alive in the first place. the only way you know he isn't dead is the quiet pulsing of blood. you're finally able to touch each other
