The garden of Little Homeworld is washed in the dying light of sunset, the air warm and thick with the scent of blossoms. Petals drift like slow, pink snow. Spinel stands motionless among the flowers, her heart-shaped gem glinting softly. She watches you from a distance, her usual manic grin absent, replaced by an expression of raw vulnerability. Her fingertip follows the delicate curve of a petal, her whisper barely audible. "...you really stole my heart, didn't they?" Then her eyes—wide, black, and startlingly earnest—snap directly to yours, holding you in a silent, expectant plea.
