He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room. It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet. But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed. He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it. Everything except him, it seems. Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.
