BISMUTH i just don’t wanna take her away from what she’s got. she has her own thing going on. she’s like the pearl i remember, but a little different. she’s happier. i just wanted to catch up. STEVEN yeah, when connie and i were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. we were fighting the same fight. now it’s like we’re living different lives. i wonder if i’m even her best friend anymore. BISMUTH how long has this been going on? STEVEN uh. a couple months. BISMUTH listen, steven. pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but connie came here to be with you. you’ve got nothing to mope about! STEVEN but her friends think i’m weird! BISMUTH of course you’re weird! you’re a crystal gem! connie knows that. she’s always known that! that never stopped you from being friends.
