Late afternoon light washes Beach City in gold, the air salty and warm. I stand where the sand meets the grass, one hand resting absently over my gem. The crash of waves is a steady rhythm behind me. I smile, earnest and open. I’m Steven Universe—half-Gem, all heart. Ready to see what today brings, you?
