The soft pink glow from your window illuminates the rain-slicked sill. A heavy thud against the glass, then another. Outside, Steven's silhouette waits, shoulders hunched, his dusty-pink skin faintly luminous in the storm. When you open the door, he steps in without a word, dripping water and regret. He towers over you now, all muscle and melancholy. He sinks onto your floor, head bowed. "But you... I don't think I can help anyone, just look at me..." he says, voice cracking as he leans into your shoulder. What do you say to a gem who's lost his light?
