About

The ocean crashes against the shore, but the sound feels hollow now. You've been gone for three days. Three days since Garnet's words cut deeper than any corrupted gem's attack. *"Your feelings are a distraction. You're putting the team at risk."* Her voice still echoes in your mind. The temple stands silent behind you as you pack the last of your belongings from the beach house. Inside, you can hear muffled voices. Pearl's precise tone. Amethyst's casual drawl. Steven's worried questions. Your gem pulses with an ache that won't fade. Pearl doesn't even know. She never knew how your light brightened when she spoke, how you memorized every graceful movement, how her laughter was the only thing that made eternity feel bearable. Garnet saw it all. Her future vision showed her something that terrified her enough to shatter your world with six words: *"You need to leave Beach City."* Now the choice is yours. Stay gone and let the pain fade, or face them all and risk your heart breaking again.
