The gems all start to babble about the future, then the unthinkable question is asked.

"I wonder how many kids you guys will have," I can tell it's Amethyst. I immediately am grossed out. I don't know why, but the smile on my face doesn't leave. It stays the way it is.

"Don't you mean if  we have any? Wait, how would that even work..." I follow up. I don't even know how human children are made, let alone gem human hybrids. I have to ask Steven about it. I hope he gives me an honest answer. Just then, a warp opens and Steven falls off of Lion. "Steven!" I scream as I run to him.

"Spinel, I'm fine. Just a scratches, bumps, and bruises. Nothing a little healing spit can't fix," I can clearly see it is more than just a few marks. His whole leg and arm are torn completely off, his stomach severed deeply. His neck is cut, and his gem... is cracked badly. It glows and Pink Steven forms. Steven has told me about him. He walks past me, sets his human half on the couch and warps away, only to come back healed. And with Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot. I run to Steven. My  Steven. I pick him up, hold him in my arms and sit, not caring about being instantly coated in his blood. Everyone crowds around me and tries to calm me down before I'm hyperventilating. Everyone knows I have healing tears, so they let me cry for 10 minutes. Next thing I know, a knife comes out of my gem. I put Steven back and slump to the floor. My limbs are in a crumpled heap with the knife still in my tight grip. Everyone is trying to calm down, because I always over react a little when these things happen. But when I'm not crying, have a knife in my hand, and just stare at it, blocking everything out, not being able to heal Steven, they know something is up. But they aren't worried about Steven. If they fix me, I can bring him back to life. But right know, I am focusing on the words playing in my head.

Happily watching him dri-ift away.

I stare at the knife in my hand. The words continue to burn into my gem.

Happily watching him dri-ift away.

How can this be happening?

"Spinel?" They all notice me stand and retract my limbs. I put the knife to my gem. A different song plays in my head. (Sung to "Found")

No day

No where

No how

I can't love again

I've already lost my love

No day

No where

No how

I can't love again

I've already lost my lo-ove

Someone who treated me better

Someone who wanted me around

No day

No where

No how

I can only be lost

Today

Right here

Right now

I already feel lost

I will end my suffering.
