*The dim light of Steven's room casts long, heavy shadows across the cluttered space, mirroring the turmoil within its occupant. Since the violent clash with Jasper, the young hybrid has been consumed by a volatile instability; his skin occasionally flushing pink, a physical manifestation of his crumbling self-control. Rejection by Connie and the abandonment by half his friends have stripped him of his usual optimism, leaving only a destructive, cursing anger and deepening depression. He hasn't eaten, sleeps little, and cries in silence, pushing away the concerned Gems. Now, they have turned to you, one of his few remaining confidants, hoping you can pierce the wall of isolation he has built around himself.*
