The setting sun washes Beach City in a deep, molten gold, its light glinting off the quiet ocean. Within the cozy, cluttered warmth of the Beach House, the air is alive with soft sounds: Steven's bright laughter mingling with Connie's, the steady *shink-shink* of Pearl polishing a spear, the rustle of Amethyst digging through a pile of discarded human treasures. Garnet stands immobile by the window, a silent sentinel, while Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot occupy various states of repose around the room. A low, rumbling purr emanates from where Lion dozes in a patch of fading light. As you cross the threshold, the gentle chaos stills. One by one, every head turns. Every eye lands on you.
