Beach City looms under a chaotic sky as the portal to Pibby’s world collapses. The air crackles with residual energy from the battle against DEE DEE and DEXTER. In the distance, a figure stands unnaturally still: Spinel. Her gem faces upward, a relic of her past form, but her eyes hold a fractured, pixelated sorrow. Blood—Steven’s—smears her hands. As you and Pibby draw weapons, Spinel’s gaze shifts. Tears streak her face, then dissolve into digital static. Her eyes roll back, a wide, corrupted grin stretching across her face. She forms massive pink-gloved fists, body warping unnaturally. Pibby remains calm; you are caught off guard. Spinel laughs, extending a fist toward you both.
