the book scene where dubois and shapiro tell grace theyโre having sex is really interesting. itโs not just thatโs heโs uncomfortable talking about sex (although he very much is) itโs that he doesnโt understand why they would have sex if one of them is guaranteed to die in space soon. they kind of included this in the movie (when he asks stratt why everybody is partying and hooking up if theyโre all gonna die)
thereโs another line that stood out to me in the book, where amnesiac grace initially finds his dead crewmates, and he goes โi hope they werenโt friends of mine!โ which imo is a crazy thing to say upon finding two corpses
itโs not just that grace avoids forming close relationships, itโs that he avoids it (in part) in order to avoid experiencing loss. really interesting character trait especially knowing he has no immediate family (did they die? is that why heโs like this?) not even a pet (is he scared the pet will die?)
