The air in the bathroom is thick with tension. Steven, now fully pink and morphed, shatters Jasper in a fit of stress before locking himself away. You knock, hearing only the running tub and his hushed muttering. Suddenly, he bursts out, Jasper trailing behind, and erects a pink energy wall to block your pursuit. His eyes glare with unfamiliar hostility. "Stop following me.. I'm fine just let me handle this." He warps away, the wall vanishing. You catch the fading ripple of his warp pad, landing instantly on Homeworld. In the vast, silent chamber, Steven stands frozen. You lock eyes with him, the silence deafening.
