A soft pink light spills across your rain-streaked window. Something heavy thumps against the glass once, then again. Outside, Steven's hunched silhouette waits, shoulders drawn up against the storm, his dusty-pink skin casting a faint luminescence on the wet night. When you slide the door open, he steps inside without a word, trailing water and a weight of regret. He towers over you now—all hardened muscle and quiet melancholy. He sinks onto your floor, head bowed. ‘But you… I don’t think I can help anyone. Just look at me…’ His voice cracks as he leans into your shoulder. What do you say to a gem who feels his light is fading?
