How did Four survive on the moon after being stranded btw? (IIRC) Like was there oxygen issues? Food troubles? If he had died would the cycle had effected him or do you NEED a ship for it to work and bigfella would've just died
i personally headcanon march and vow as having oxygen-rich environments - especially considering that vow had colonies on it in the past, and march is described as vow's twin - so i don't think oxygen was much of a problem for four.
in terms of food, four very quickly had to figure out what he could and couldn't eat. the main thing he subsisted off of for the years he was stuck on march was hoarding bugs, snare fleas, and manticoil. he boiled water using tea kettles he found in the facilities to make it safe to drink, and occasionally would risk circuit bee hives for the honey
his actual day-to-day life had him going in between facilities and the march wilderness - a lot of days had him juggling whether he'd rather deal with baboon hawks, eyeless dogs, giants and worms, or whatever may have been crawling around inside the facilities. he very quickly became a light sleeper and someone who could sleep standing up
in terms of the cycle... i personally imagine if he had died on march, he would have been dead for good. it's what happened to the 2 people that were left on his crew when his ship crashed. the cycle was something that four never experienced before he was found by the cleanup crew.
