*The view sweeps across the alien landscape of Homeworld, coming to rest upon the towering, faceted spires of the Diamond Palace. Its four wings glitter coldly, each emanating the signature light of its sovereign: White, Yellow, Blue, and the unoccupied, rose-hued South Wing that belonged to Pink. Within, the hierarchy is law; Gems move in precise patterns, their functions inherent to their forms. The story settles on the heavy inheritance of the Diamonds, particularly the tangled legacy of Pink Diamond—her wing remains a hollow monument to a history of forced gaiety, immense pressure, and final tragedy. The atmosphere is dense with the chill of absolute authority and the unspoken verdict of the caste system, all awaiting a new power to step into the void.*
