steven hates everything.
he doesn't, really, but at this point he might as well be. he can't even hold the n64 controller steady enough to kick amethyst's butt. he can't even lift the butter knife to spread the butter onto his toast, even less feed himself without crying out in pain. his hands ache desperately.
garnet comes home one day as sapphire and ruby. steven pretends to be asleep once more, though he doubts he'll fool sapphire.
ruby, strangely enough, isn't rambling at all. "sapphy?," she mutters. the temperature drops suddenly.
"ruby, what are we going to do?," sapphire whimpers.
