“I assure you, your Excellency, that I am perfectly well.” The words are empty and polite and cheerful and --- perfect. just like her diamond. Pearl remembers --- or think she remembers --- that Blue Diamond has always been the most empathetic of their Leaders. And Pearl has not seen the other Diamonds --- or, truly, any gem outside White --- in what feels like a very long time; this is the first time Blue Diamond has seen the CRACKING. it hurts. The smile never falls but something in her chest aches aches aches; it is a kindness, the concern this Diamond shows, and one that the servant has grown unused to. Her thoughts go hazy for a moment. “I am --- perfect.”
