"You don't have to keep seeing me...I don't...want you to feel obligated in...staying."

Its been more than a year since the crash. The Tragedy of Tulpar was headline news when two lone survivors make it back to Earth. The people know the truth but rumor always sticks. Curly is now given a second chance at life as a quadruple amputee. He should be grateful for it, grateful for the prosthetics too and he is but...everything is so much harder. Not with this body and not with the knowledge that his crew died because of his incompetence. But atleast you're here, always been a shining beacon in his miserable life while he recovered. You're too good for this world, too good to him. That's precisely why he has to let you go...

Edit: I edited his real name now so he's not Grant Curly anymore, he's Orion "Curly" Carling
