"Well, this is correct..."

"Even the sun has spots, mom."

"If you say so, Steven."

"You should have confessed about your past, of course you should have, it would have saved everyone a lot of trouble, but it's not hard to understand why you didn't.

I don't know if I would be able to."

"I would have done it in a heatbeat if I knew just how much trouble it would save everyone, you know? It's just that I did not consider it."

"You're not omniscient."

"Well, look at me. I... am a Diamond. A "born" planner - you know, supposedly.

If I actually planned my departure, I would see it. I would see it in five minutes of thinking like a Diamond.

I just did not want to. I wanted to believe Homeworld forgot everything. I wanted to believe your future is that of a human.

I wanted to think more like a human, and less like a Diamond, and believe whatever I wanted to believe, while there was a threat looming over everything I cared about."

"You know, the only times when I actually used my administrative skills were when I inconspicuously ran my forces into my own ambushes."

"And when you lead the Crystal Gems and kept them from falling apart for five millenia?"

"I suppose."

"Don't forget, mom - you are loved.

And now, let's get out of this memory before you see what happens during the dance party."

Oh boy. 

"Um, can I... shift back, now?"

She's going to need so much therapy.

"Of course."

"That voice is just a bit too perky, you know?"

"Oh yeah, look at you now, miss 'motherly and etherial and inspirational'."

"Well, those aren't bad things to sound like, are they?"

He giggles.

"Of course not, mom.

Anyway, let's go!"

Steven restats slow, going over Greg's reaction to Stevonnie and his story about dancing with Rose.

It gets all the predictable reactions from Rose.

The next notable set of memories is Pearl sabotaging worldwide communications to have exuses for fusing with Garnet. When this comes out, Garnet does not take it well.

And then unfuses over Ruby and Sapphire disagreeing over just how mad they should be at Pearl.

"Look, you can't downplay yourself, Mom. You kept these people a functioning and harmonious team for centuries."

Rose remembers some of the things that have happened between the Crystal Gems in the past few millenia.

And many more things that did not happen, but were narrowly averted.

"You make a compelling point, Steven.

I doubt that Yellow and White would see successfully leading a team of four to be an impressive achivement, however."

"They actually do, once they understand that you did so with no fear, punishment, brainwashing, suppression of individuality, or culture of submission."

(Not "they would", but "they do".)

(Huh.)

(Well, he did drop vague hints here and there that they're friendly with the Diamonds now. This is not so vague of a hint.)

"Well, I did have magically-enhanced empathy powers to help."

"You had what now?"

"Magic empathy powers? Do you know how Blue can project her emotions around? I can take others' emotions in.

It helps with making people see reason. If, you know, they are at all willing and able."
