[Open. Int. Crystal Temple]

(Bismuth and Greg are seen trying to fix Greg's van after Steven crashed it in the previous episode. Steven is then seen watching them over the balcony, then heads back inside.)

Y/N: You crashed Greg's van?!

Pearl: You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand.

Steven: It's not an outburst! *turns pink*

Y/N: Oh sure, because glowing pink in fury is, tooooooooootally not an outburst at all

Pearl: See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you?

Steven: Nothing! ...It's nothing.

Pearl: S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not through tal-

(Pearl hits Steven's generated force field.)

Y/N: Huh, That's new

Pearl: Steven! Drop this wall!

Steven: *gasps* Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just... (Steven's dome dissipates.) need... some space, OK? I'll be in my room.

Amethyst: Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on.

Garnet: It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this all together.

Steven: No! I'm not!

(Steven slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave from his rage.)

Y/N: Woah!!!

Garnet: Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us!

Amethyst: Just chill, man!

Steven: Nnghh...

Pearl: We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt!

Y/N: Steven, Just take deep breaths and open up to me and the Gems

Steven: NNGGHH...

Garnet: Don't let this power control you. You're better than this.

Steven: NNGGHH... Leave me alone!!!

(You and The Gems start moving in slow motion.)

Steven: Huh? I'm speeding up again. I gotta get out of here.

(Steven runs out of the temple as everything returns to its normal speed.)

[Trans. Int. Beach City Woods]

Steven: And that's why I can't go back.

Jasper: So, what you're saying is; you're here- for a rematch?!

(Jasper rips off her cloak.)

Steven: What? No! I'm telling you why I'm out here in the first place. I think my diamond powers are coming out, I can't control them. I just need to be alone so I don't hurt anyone.

Jasper: If you really wanted to be alone, you're doing it wrong.

Steven: But, Jasper! This is the last place anyone would look for me.

(Jasper walks away as Steven follows her.)

Steven: W-Wait! Don't leave me here.

(Steven pants as they walk further into the woods.)

Steven: This thing with my powers is a real problem.

Jasper: The only problem you have are your friends.

Steven: Huh?

Jasper: Can't you see they're holding you back?

Steven: What? No. Th-they're just worried about me.
