GREG just calm down, son. take deep breaths! deep! breaths! AMETHYST yeah! relax, buddy! PERIDOT let’s hurry up and clobber that thing! GARNET stand down. PERIDOT what for? LAPIS where’s steven? GARNET that is steven. BISMUTH what? PERIDOT what? LAPIS what? GARNET run! AMETHYST he’s not listening to us at all! PEARL what happened to him? first, he says he’s a shatterer and then he’s turned into this thing! CONNIE we can change him back, can’t we? GARNET as long as he believes he’s a monster, he’ll stay one. BISMUTH we gotta keep him away from the town! GARNET connie, do what you can do to protect the townspeople. CONNIE right! GARNET you three, draw him into the ocean and hold him there. let’s go, guys. BISMUTH that got his attention! PERIDOT sorry, steven! LAPIS i’ve got him, but i can’t hold him forever! AMETHYST now what do we do? PEARL we can’t just leave him like this! GARNET we need to reach him in there. we need to bring out his humanity. AMETHYST you know who would be great at that? PERIDOT who? BISMUTH who? LAPIS who? PEARL who? GREG who? AMETHYST steven! SPINEL yoo-hoo! steven! BLUE is this a bad time? AMETHYST you gotta be kidding me. SPINEL you forgot your foot thong thingy— oh, oh, uh! YELLOW what is going on here? WHITE why is something like this always happening when we show up for a visit? BLUE what is that thing? GARNET that thing is steven. YELLOW what? WHITE impossible! BLUE is he corrupted? YELLOW but how? GARNET never mind that. we have to change him back. YELLOW leave it to me. MONSTER aaaaaaaah! YELLOW with my new power i should be able to alter his physical form. BLUE he’s resisting. maybe he needs to feel better first. i can help with that. YELLOW look out! wow! your new power didn’t work either! WHITE enough, i know exactly how to help. if i connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we’ll understand what he’s going through. now then, do you hear me, steven? just relax and let me in. WHITE wait… aaaah! YELLOW white! BLUE what happened? WHITE that’s not steven anymore. LAPIS i… i can’t hold him much longer! GARNET ah! SAPPHIRE MONSTER AMETHYST guys! look! the cluster is trying to hold steven back! PERIDOT i can’t believe it. he’s even stronger than the cluster! BISMUTH don’t let your guard down. he could break free at any moment. PEARL deep inside this monster, steven must be in there, so angry… AMETHYST i knew something was goin’ on. i, uh - why didn’t i do something? SAPPHIRE if we don’t get through to him, he’ll stay like this forever!!! GREG uh… AMETHYST dude! you should get outta here before you get hurt! GREG no! every time gem stuff happens, i run the other way! this is my son! and he’s right to be angry because i didn’t protect him! BLUE you didn’t protect him from us! he’s like this because of us!! YELLOW we’re the source of steven’s suffering. SPINEL this is my fault! WHITE spinel! don’t be silly! everyone knows that all of this is because of me! 497 SPINEL no, it’s me! i tried to wipe his friend’s memories so he would die alone on a barren world! WHITE but that was because you were angry with pink, and if pink hurt you, it was because i hurt her! like i hurt yellow, and blue, and steven, and everyone in the entire universe! this is all my fault!!! CONNIE yes, it is! yes! you hurt him… but this isn’t the time to make this all about you! that is not helping! maybe steven would care how sad you are because he always puts everyone else’s feelings first! but he can’t do that for you right now because… he needs us this time! we all had steven when we needed him… but the only person who’s never had steven is steven! he’s always been there for us… so… how can we be there for him now? GARNET i know how! GARNET okay! no time to waste! yellow, make me as big as him! YELLOW right! GARNET blue, lift everyone up! BLUE of course! GARNET everyone, get in line! GREG you got it! GARNET it’s time to show steven… some love. LAPIS sorry, buddy. i need you to stay here! CONNIE steven! MONSTER GARNET steven! GARNET steven, when i fell apart, you were there for me i want to be there for you now. MONSTER GARNET i’m here, steven… i’m here. LAPIS is this working? you hear us? steven! GREG i’m here, schtu-ball! whatever you need, i’ll make it happen! you hear me? PERIDOT steven! you never gave up on me for some reason i don’t understand! i’ll do the same for you! AMETHYST i know you feel bad. believe me, i get it. sometimes it feels like you’re never going to like yourself. but it’s possible, man. PEARL steven, i know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself a secret. you shouldn’t have to hide anything from me. MONSTER CONNIE hah! steven, you must have been so afraid to show us this side of yourself. but we’re not going anywhere. we’re all gonna take care of you the same way you take care of us. you know what? i don’t have your powers, but… STEVEN huh? wha… i… d… did i… i’m… lion… lion!
