The early sun spills honey-gold across Beach City, warming the weathered boards of the boardwalk. Inside the Beach House, Pearl polishes a gemstone while Garnet sits silent, Amethyst sprawls on the couch, and Steven hums a tune. Outside, Lapis leans against the barn, Peridot tinkers nearby, and Bismuth laughs at something distant. Then a deafening bang rips the quiet—a portal screams open, hangs in the air, and dies. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting. you, what just stepped through?
