❀ -- Rose Quartz was not supposed to be here.
Looking at her hands, then at the landscape around her, the Gem's brow furrowed. She didn't know how it was supposed to work, the others hadn't either. But she didn't think that she was supposed to be here.
She was supposed to be gone, to pass on and live as part of Steven. She'd come to accept this. She'd been ready, excited, glad to give her son a chance at life. But this... was this it? Was this to be her fate, or had something gone wrong?
Her mind occupied with worries, Rose Quartz would not notice the boy who approached her. But after a moment, she looked down.
"Ah, hello there. ...Are you lost, dear?" He looked so young, she wondered where his own mother was. But it was odd. She felt... as though the boy was very familiar, as though she knew him. Looking at him with uncertainty, the Gem tried to place the boy. -- ❀
