Diamond was silent when Star went to the kitchen and pulled out a burrito wrapped in tin foil.

Diamond was silent when Star told him to stop staring. He did not.

Diamond was silent when Star put it in the microwave and set it for two minutes.

Diamond was silent when Star zoned out, his mind drifting elsewhere. Far enough away that he didn't notice the tinfoil sparking.

Diamond was silent when a loud crackling sound startled Star and the inside of the microwave caught fire.

Diamond was silent when Star called for Connie and she rushed from the bathroom haphazardly wrapped in a towel that didn't quite cover everything and soaking wet.

Diamond was silent as Connie doused the flames with water and Star shook with fear, sliding down the cupboards to sit and tug at his hair.

Diamond was silent when Star flew into a panic attack, screaming that he was stupid and worthless.

"Star, Star it's okay!" She looked to the Diamond. "Why didn't you do anything?"

Diamond was silent.
