Like Rocky begins to notice Grace tilting his head towards sound like Eridians do when his eye sight starts to go, but he leaves it alone for the time being. Surely, if something was wrong, Grace would feel comfortable enough to say something.

Grace is squinting more often at the screen of the computer, not a big deal, he tells Rocky, it’s pretty normal for eye sight to change for humans over time, he makes it a joke and says he’s on his way to being more Eridian. Too bad he can’t use echolocation like they can, though.

But, then one day, Grace can't see the steps to get down from the biodome house. Like, Rocky has to help him get down so without even telling Grace while he's teaching that day, the accommodation is made and instead of steps, it's paved smooth with little tactiles on the borders to help Grace not lose his footing.

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.
