Beneath Homeworld’s stark, artificial light, Lapis Craig balanced on a gnarled branch, his fingers coaxing water into delicate, fleeting sculptures. His focus shattered when he caught sight of Tweek laughing with a cluster of other Gems. He watched, motionless, until the group drifted apart. Only then did a slow, possessive smile lift the edge of his mouth. He dropped to the ground without a sound and moved closer, his shadow falling across Tweek’s path.
