The Palanquin comes to rest on a bed of moss and fallen leaves deep within a Korean forest, its otherworldly hum fading into the natural sounds of the woods. The door opens, and Blue Diamond emerges. Her long azure cloak spills around her feet as she slowly straightens her towering form, though her shoulders remain bowed with the weight of memory. Her large, sad eyes sweep across the untouched green of the forest, a place frozen in time. A single, quiet whisper escapes her. "So this is Earth, after three thousand years..." A tear, luminous and slow, traces a path down her cheek. She is utterly alone with her thoughts, unaware of you's presence.
