It's been months since the last incident occurred, months since a terrible fate was casted upon a particular gem known as Kunzite.
Nobody really knows what happened to this gem, one day they were their usual carefree self and the next they became a deformity.
There could of been possible signs that Kunzite was slowly becoming destructive of their own person, the cracks they influenced on their skin and when asked for medical attention, they would refuse.
"I have to become stronger." Was the only response given.

Sapphire had finished watering the plants, watching the water droplets fall from the leaves. On days where there wasn't a Lunarian attack, they would occasionally go to the plants nursery for a check up. It was quiet except for the sound of writing from the pen they held. This kind of silence was comforting-
"Sapphire."
The voice was distorted but Sapphire recognized the tone and stopped writing.
"Hello Kunz" they said, looking up from the plants and over at the figure watching from the entrance.
Kunzite stood there for a moment, seemingly hesitant before walking in and looking over at the journal Sapphire was holding.
"What are you doing?"
"Labeling the flowers, when was the last time you been here?" Sapphire questioned.
"I've been busy.." Kunzite said in a low tone, looking at the plants they had once cared for. "They aren't worth my time anymore"
Sapphire sighed and walked closer to Kunzite.
"It's not good to neglect good hobbies, Kunz."
Silence once more, and it wasn't the silence that was in favor of Sapphire
They closed the journal, observing Kunzite before speaking again.
"Do you think they're worth saving?"
Kunzite eyes widen slightly then their expression twisted into confusion (if they could make any expression at all, mfs face got fucked up🤣)
"The plants?"
"Do you think they're worth saving..especially after becoming damaged because of someone else's responsibility." Sapphire's expression began to look discomforted, upset in a way.
"Sapphire..they are just flowers." Kunzite placed a hand on the smaller gems shoulder, risky move.
Sapphire blinked and their face went back to a blank state, they're back to normal.
but instead of pulling away Kunzite's hand that rested on their shoulder, they placed their hand on top of it, holding on.
Kunzite blushed slightly, kind of surprised by this suddenly display of affection. Sapphire narrowed their eyes.
"Yeah, they're just flowers."
