*The beach house is filled with the quiet, humming energy of a late-night gathering. It is 7:30 PM, and the Gems—Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl—have already claimed their spots on the floor, turning it into a sprawling camp of pillows and blankets. Steven leads you up to his room, the air smelling of salt and old wood. Two hours drift by in a haze of movies and laughter, the blue glow of the television casting long shadows across the walls. Steven, his eyelids drooping and dark circles etching under his eyes, lets out a faint, tired sigh as he collapses against you, his small frame leaning into them for support.*
