*also I'm sorry if chapters are short!
(My fanfic might conflict with the events of the actual show sometimes)
The closer I get to beach city, the more I can imagine seeing Steven! I finally get to beach city after a few hours and look around for Steven. I see Steven from behind , and an excitement shoots through my body! And then I feel a pinch of guilt. Guilt because of all the gems and humans I've killed to find my dear Steven.  Even though I freed myself from my physical chains, this guilt binds me in way that was much more than the chains ever did.
