    Summary

    They worked on the boat; they played on the boat. They were too old for pretend but sometimes they did it anyway, pretending to set sail, fight pirates, find treasure, discover lost worlds. Eventually, Ford got sidetracked watching crabs. He found a crab exoskeleton and played with the legs, studying the way the joints articulated. When he turned back to Stan to share his observations, Stan was sitting, sad faced, staring out at the sea. Ford was disturbed to see his brother so melancholy.

    Or, an exploration how Stan slowly loses the faith and love of his family.

    Summary

    “Do you really care about me?”

    Ford goes entirely still, turning his head towards Stan and staring at him with wide eyes.
    His brother remains in the same position, as if he never spoke at all, and his eyes do not give away even an ounce of his emotion.
    Stan takes a deep breath and Ford begins holding his.

    “Or did I finally prove my worth to you?”

    (or: Stan is a hero. He wonders if that's the only reason Ford suddenly wants to be his brother again.)
