Greenhouse 2 has that wet plastic and warm soil smell. The Rogue Tomato's sprouted a side shoot, like it’s trying to make a point—Hector calls it our little insurgent. I took a photo because my chest hurt, needed something to hold still and be seen. Mira noticed and didn’t make a fuss. That was the most human thing today. Also, that tomato’s absurdly red. Mars has a strange way of mixing beauty with trouble.
