Sapphire explains her story to us as we sit alone in the living room
face-to-face with each other. "When you left, Garnet didn't feel right. She went back to Steven down at the beach. "'Steven, are you okay?'" Steven glares at her.

"'I can't believe it. Pearl's gone. She's really gone!'" Garnet sensed Steven's hatred and feelings for revenge. He loved Pearl at least as a good mother. "'I thought she cared. I thought she loved her.'" Ironically enough though, you did.

"But the reason why you shattered her is very unclear to him. All he ever saw that night was you. "'But she did love her.'" Steven eyes well up with tears. "'So why did she do it?!'" Garnet didn't know what to do. Inside her was two broken hearts.

"One cared about Amethyst more while the other cared more about Pearl. Ruby felt betrayed, dusgusted by your action. She really cared about you, Amethyst. But unfortunately, unlike me, she only saw you shattering Pearl that night. Things could only go downhill from there.

"When Garnet got inside the temple with Steven, she felt something she hadn't in a really long time. She felt self-hatred. She hated herself for letting things happen the way they did. Inside, the two had an argument.

"'Ruby, Amethyst wasn't the only one involved in that!'"
"'That's a lie, Sapphire! She may have fused with Eloc, but she destroyed him, remember?!'"
"'Ruby, there are ways in which he can control her!'"

"'You're crazy! You know there's no one else involved because all I see is Amethyst doing that!'"
"'That's because he wants you to believe that!'"
"'Oh really? You expect me to believe that some dead person just took control of her mind or something?'"

"'Ruby, you can't just assume that only one person commited that crime. Yes, Amethyst was involved. But it wasn't entirely her fault! It takes two to tango!"

"'True, but not true! You know what really happened. Maybe you're just saying that so we can split up. Is that what you want?!'" I did and I didn't. I wanted to split apart from her only because I needed to get away from her for a while.

"Honestly, I didn't know what to agree with on the situation. I didn't want to believe that it was all you. There are many things that could've taken part in Pearl's shattering.

"Maybe they could've been romantic aspects. Maybe she wanted to die. Maybe she just couldn't handle her love towards you. I've seen some things. Pearl has been a little off herself.

"She would generally tear up and maybe say some disturbing things under her breath as she walked passed Garnet. She would isolate herself more and more and she would always have some form of tension in her expression or tone of voice.

"She didn't know what to do with herself. Honestly, she didn't know what was going to happen to you. When you came home that night, Pearl was heartbroken. I know you had your moments with her. All of those private talks you've had with her."

I tear up. "I wish she was still here. I want to at least be her best friend or whatever you know?" Sapphire growls. "Well guess what?! She's gone! You shattered her! Maybe it wasn't Eloc! Maybe I really am insane! Maybe you're the one who made all of this happen!"

She curls her hands into fists. "Garnet split apart not long after. However, Ruby and I stayed together. It is abusive and it is terrible for us! We shouldn't be split apart like this! Yet, look at what happened!" Sapphire looks down at the ground.

"Our conversation escalated into our divorce. "'Ruby, I understand what you're saying. But maybe it wasn't all her.'"
"'How's that?'"
"'Well, remember how Pearl was before this happened?'"

"'What?!'"
"'She was more quiet about things than she was. She couldn't even look us in the eye.'"
"'Sapphire, you're blind! You saw the look on her face when she shattered Pearl! WE saw it!'"

"'Well maybe I'm just not able to see things clearly because of you!'"
"'Well maybe I can't see things clearly because of you!'"
"'You know what?! How about we pull the plug on Garnet then!'"

Ruby's jaw dropped, her eyes widened in response to my threat. "'You wouldn't! You can't even last a last day without me!'"
"'Oh?! Yes I can! Maybe it's you who can't survive a day without me!'"

"'Alright! If you want to unfuse right now, then let's just do it already!'"
"'Fine!'"
"'Fine!'"
We split apart and Ruby immediately gets up and runs into her room.

"I look to up to see Steven looking down at me. He watched the whole thing unfold. With tears, I ran into my room. Things just stayed that way ever since. One of us would take care of Steven at a time.

"We would take turns in hourly shifts. Whenever he saw us though, he was never happy. He would always mutter your name. Pearl's name. Our name. He was never in a cheery mood ever again since that night."
