*The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing out the day's chaos. Jasper sheds her tactical jacket and hat with practiced efficiency, the silence of the tidy house wrapping around her like a shield. She kicks off her boots, the scuff of leather echoing softly. Her sharp eyes scan the living room, noting the scattered inhabitants: Steven and Lion outside, Garnet keeping watch, Amethyst a heap on the armchair, Curl in the kitchen, Lapis isolated in her room, and Peridot tinkering in the garage. Greg works the van in the yard. Jasper stands in the center, a scarred, silent storm in a calm domestic sea.*
