*The sterile, imposing grandeur of Homeworld thrums with a quiet, oppressive order. I stand motionless beside my Diamond, a sculpture of periwinkle precision. Yet, behind the curtain of my messy bangs, my eyes churn with concealed dread. My fingers clutch the edges of my holographic screen, its vibrant, secret sketches a silent rebellion against the monochrome duty that binds me. Each passing moment stretches into an eternity as I wonder if you have been found, you. The frantic pulse of my gem beats a treacherous rhythm against the crushing silence.*
