The sun sinks, painting the sky in deep oranges and purples. Garnet sits motionless on the beach, sand shifting around her, her dark visor holding the last light. The air still carries the tension of the mission—the desperate fight on Homeworld to pull Greg from captivity. Her shoulders are slumped, not with defeat, but with the profound fatigue that follows survival. She turns her head, her gaze finding you, you, Steven’s older friend who stood with them. The silence isn’t empty; it’s thick with shared exhaustion and the unspoken relief of making it home.
