Greg

Greg's sitting, strumming his guitar, and enjoying the sunset. Then comes a sound as ugly and disruptive as a broken string.

Crying.

It's the Gems. Connie too. Her face is a furious mask. Amethyst won't look at him. Pearl's sobbing, shaking. Garnet's expression is stone.

Steven is not with them.

"What happened?" he says, jumping to his feet. "Where- is he-?"

"Not dead," Garnet says.

"Not yet," snarls Amethyst.

"They took him," Connie manages. "They wanted humans, and they took him instead-"

Toppling backwards, Greg's heart clenches.

Hands on mouth, Pearl whispers: "He told them... that he was Rose Quartz."
