                     ~Garnet's POV~
       Its been a few days since the death of y/n's father and y/n has been distant from all of us lately. He/she won't really talk to us, unless we ask him/her a question, but that's about it. We have to basically beg him/her to eat, and if he/she complies, he/she just takes a few small bites from a bloody piece of meat, but that's it. The same goes for sleeping too. Most nights, y/n will not even sleep, he/she will just lay in bed and watch the ceiling, it ain't healthy for him/her, none of this is.
          Pearl and I are sitting at the counter sipping tea as we watch Steven and Connie play their video games. Amethyst is asleep on the couch on this rainy day. And y/n... Y/n is sitting on the couch near the window, leaning his/her head on the wooden frame. "Garnet, how are you holding up? I mean, I know that y/n is depressed, and I'm concerned for him/her, but I'm also worried about you." Pearl says in a low concerned voice.
         I sip on the warm raspberry tea and let out a sigh, "Honestly, we're not great. We're worried to death about y/n and we can't do nothing about it." I look back over to y/n, "We just don't know what to do to help him/her. He/she won't talk to us freely about it and we're not going to force him/her to talk." I take another long sip, "I just wish he/she would talk to us about it."
                        ~Y/n's POV~
        Everyone is in the temple on this dark rainy day. Connie has come over to spend a few nights with Steven and I to hang out and I guess to cheer me up. I've been depressed ever since I got out of the hospital after I killed my father. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. I should be happy that the world is safe and I am, but I feel sad that it is at my father's cost. Don't get me wrong, my father was a monster and he did try to take over the world, heck he even killed me, but I know he loved me in some sense, and I know that I loved him too, even though I didn't admit it a lot. I'm just feeling a lot of negative and mixed emotions right now and I don't know why.
         Slight murmurs are coming from the kitchen counter and thanks to my superhearing, I know that its clearly about me. I know that everybody is worried about me, but I don't want them to be, so I get up and I head for the warp pad. "Hey y/n, where are you going?" I hear Steven ask as I hear the game that him and Connie's playing go on pause. "Out." Is all I simply say as I get on the warp pad. I see Garnet and Pearl stand up, "Love, when will you be back?" I shrug my shoulders as I look away from her with a frown. "I love you." I say lowly then I warp away.
            I end up warping to the nearest warp pad to my father's castle and I run all the way there. When I get there, I approach the front doors with hesitation of whether I should turn back or not. My mind is telling me to turn back, but my heart says to go in. After a moment of confliction between my heart and mind, I decide to go in.
         Darkness and a cold breeze greets me as I get inside and close the doors. Its freezing in here, but it always has because it always snows here for some odd reason. As I make my way through the stone castle, creaks and bumps of the castle settling makes me go on edge. I keep thinking to myself that my father is going to come out and greet me in his casual jump scare, but he won't, thanks to me.
            I don't even bother lighting the candles because my night and thermal vision is helping me see. My fingers trace over some of the small figurines on the dust covered tables until I end up at my father's bedroom. I don't even realize that I walked up to it until the red velvet doors greet me, its like I was drawn here for some reason. Taking a deep breathe, I decide to enter the room.
          When I enter the room, I see papers and broken furniture scattered on the floor. What happened here? I make my way over to his desk in front of his bed and see crumpled up papers and some papers with drawings and scribbles on them. Examining them closer, I realize that these were blueprints for his replicator project and his plans for it. My eyes go wide with rage and my tastebuds go numb. I sweep my arm across his desk with an angry yell, sending papers and little nic nacs everywhere. "Ahh! Why?! Why me?!" I cry out with tears and slam my fists on his desk.
         I'm physically shaking and tears are streaming out of my eyes. When I look up from the floor, I see that I knocked down a three sided picture frame. Feeling bad and curious, I decide to pick up the frame and wipe the dust off the glass. On the left side of the frame, I see a picture of me and my father. I was about twelve in this picture. I remember this picture because we took it right before I ran away about a week or two later. My father is holding my left shoulder and not smiling, while I have my hands in front of me and not smiling. It looks like we was about to attend a funeral because of the black outfits and dull faces, but we weren't. I scan to the right side of the frame and see my father smiling and hugging my mother from behind as he plants a kiss on her left cheek. He's wearing all black as usual, but my mother sticks out with her glowing white dress. I smile, then I look to the middle of the frame, I see a picture of my father smiling with my mother and looking down and holding her stomach in her beautiful white dress, while she looks at him smiling. I guess she was pregnant with me and that's our only family photo.
          I let out a sly laugh and wipe a stray tear from my eye. "I guess what they say is true... Opposites do attract." I smile down at the frame, then a gust of wind comes from the slightly opened window and shines a beam of sunlight onto a portrait of my mother. I put the picture of my family in my gem because I want to take it back with me and I head over to the portrait. My mother is posing like Rose in her portrait and I simply take it down and smile at it before I put it in my gem. "There you go mom. You'll always be in my heart." I smile and pat my gem, then I look up to see a safe.
          My father never did tell me the combination to his safe, so I just rip the door off. After the dust of dry wall clears, my eyes glisten. Silver, gold, jewels and important paperwork shine in my eyes. A light brown, almost yellow piece of paper with my name on it is presented right in front of me. Not wasting another moment, I open it up and start to read it. Its my father's handwriting and all it says is "My fortune is your's. Spend it anyway you like. Love your father."
           This is probably the only best thing that my father has given me and of course it would have to be in death. The only thing that he has given me in life was pain and regret, so I'm actually going to like his gift for once. I use my superspeed and put all of his or should I say my riches in my gem. I smile when I get done, but then guilt washes over me again. "He wanted you to have this remember? And after all he put you through, put us through! We deserve it." I say trying to cheer myself up, but my mood stays the same, especially when I hear a crow squawk on the window pane. I make my over to the window to meet the crow, but when I do, it flies away and reveals a headstone in the snow. It says 'Igor'.
