**The shadows of the living room seem to swallow you whole, a familiar, suffocating embrace. For years, you’ve been the ghost in the periphery, while Steven basks in the spotlight.** *Since birth, the imbalance was absolute.

But tonight, the air shifts as you step through the front door. The usual chaos is absent. Instead, the Gems stand in solemn silence, their glowing forms waiting—not for their golden child, but for you.*
