animated the thornring scene from deltarune chapter 4 weird route!

It's about to happen*

I knew it wasn't, this entire charade, my outburst, my still harbored feelings...

Steven felt just like her.

I began to cry.

Stars, I missed her so much.

And here she was. Her son, with the form she left him. He was saying the exact thing she would have.

His small form, clinging to me as if he were a new gem.

He practically was. And he held me like she would have.

I wanted to wail. I was trying so hard to hold it in.

Steven didn't need that.

He needed his Pearl. To teach him. To show him how to be a gem.

Even after!...I could see his face again and the horror and anguish threatened to suffocate me. He reached out for me, even when I made that face at him.

I should have been the one to pull him up, to catch him.

I could feel a warmth begin to settle in my heart.

But he caught it. Human tenacity was strong, but I couldn't imagine one catching themselves like he had.

This... boy. This mirror image of his mother.

He still thought I was great.

As the tears settled and the warmth bloomed, I knew.

He had to be protected, guided, loved, like I loved everything Rose created.

Because...

He was my everything now.

Not all humans...
