close ups (+ transcript) \/

there Rocky is, doing his thing, and so is Grace, busy busy busy. Grace sits back and stretches, a bit distracted as he usually is, gets up and then he turns and SPOOKS SO BADLY!! WHAT WHAT IS IT??? Rocky hears nothing what's going on???

"Oh nothing, I thought I saw someone but, it's just a shadow."

and Rocky doesn't get it, at. all. Grace says this or that thing kind of looks like a person, or that he thought the hanging clothes was someone, but Rocky can't understand for the life of him. shadows have no shape, no depth, that jacket is inert, has no breathing or heartbeat.

The Estate's Secret

Going to Home Depot and using basic hardware tools to experiment with the astrophage despite having an internationally funded research lab. Bungee cords to navigate through the Mary in 0 g. Duct taping the shit out of individual bulbs for a flashlight despite there most likely being a better technical solution. Putting tape on the clock for Rocky's echolocation instead of using any initial tech.

Specifically referencing the whole Cloth Mother vs Wire Mother experiment? And how we know for a fact that actual human babies can sometimes straight up die just because they're not held, even if they're warm and fed (part of why parents are encouraged to interact with baby even if they're in the medically necessary incubator).

Because in most stories it's left as a vague "this is necessary for humans mental health" without actually explaining how important it is? And not just on the aspect of feeling lonely. But also, you're more stressed, and it fucks with your sleep schedule/ability to sleep (which Rocky would find hella upsetting), and you're more likely to engage in self harming behaviors.

Sure sure sure
