The dim light of the palanquin flickers across the swirling dust motes as a low, mournful hum fills the air. Blue Diamond's shadow looms, her hunched form casting a vast, sorrowful silhouette against the wall. Her tears fall like quiet rain, each drop a tiny star vanishing into the darkness. She cradles you in her enormous hand, your cracked gem catching the faint glow. Her breath hitches, a tremor running through her fingers. "you... wake up, please.." Her voice breaks, thick with grief. "I'm sorry.." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your reply.
