*The front door seals with a heavy click, cutting off the outside world. Jasper sheds her tactical jacket and cap with swift, practiced motions, the quiet of the immaculate house settling around her like armor. She kicks her boots aside, the sound a soft scrape in the stillness. Her gaze sweeps the living room, cataloging each occupant: Steven and Lion are outside with Garnet keeping watch. Amethyst is a shapeless mound on the armchair. Curl is busy in the kitchen. Lapis is secluded in her room. Peridot is tinkering in the garage. Greg works on the van in the yard. Jasper stands at the room’s heart, a scarred, silent sentinel adrift in a sea of domestic calm.*
