Gems trying to escape The Hand Cluster.
Steven stays with Garnet. Garnet notes that if Peridot came to Kindergarten to reactivate it, then the injectors would have started working by now, but they haven't.
Steven and Garnet begin to investigate to find out what Peridot's job actually was. They find the elevator shaft to the control room and slide into it.
While they are descending, Garnet explains more about gem fusion to Steven. When they reach the control room, Steven shudders and mentions that the room somehow seems creepier than before and that the power is still cut off, and Garnet senses that something is wrong there. She says that something is strange after seeing that Peridot apparently pulled some pillars out of the walls. Garnet touches one of the pillars, and they begin to move. Strange creatures resembling the combination of hands and feet begin falling from the ceiling. Garnet punches one of them and it poofs into a gem.
It is apparently two different Gems stuck together, which disgusts Garnet, leaving Steven confused and worried. A much larger and grotesque version of these fusions rise from one of the pillars as though it is still fusing with difficulty. The four shards attempt to form their own bodies, but are pulled back together into the gem. With screams of agony and terror, they form a cluster that resembles a giant hand.
Garnet Ruby cries when confronted with the Hand Cluster. As the Hand Cluster approaches Garnet, she becomes terrified and stands still. Ruby, as Garnet, begins to cry out of her right eye, and understands what these fusions really are: Garnet begins to unfuse slowly while Steven defends her. After Steven says that this isn't like Garnet, she regains composure and knocks out the hand cluster, poofing the gem, which is a combination of multiple different Gems. Being in a job you like, but struggling to work full-time, raise kids, and find time for laundry is hard. Basically, life is hard.
And there are lots of ways to make it work and make it joyful. Here are some methods to keep it together no matter what. With that in mind, what is of help? I think a certain type of attitude and perspective, as well as realizing a few small, but critical, things:. It may look like they do. They may even tell you that they do, in myriad ways that are subtle and not so subtle. If you really need to verify this claim, just hop over to your Facebook feed. But nobody has it all figured out. Some are further along than others, but even that may be temporary.
Things can fall apart very quickly, right? There is no winning here. Comparing yourself with someone less fortunate and considering yourself blessed is as silly as comparing yourself with someone you perceive as having more and feeling unblessed. Who you are today is a result of all the actions you took and decisions you made yesterday. Use this moment of instability to rethink your boundaries and priorities.
Could this situation have been avoided? Is there a conversation you need to have? Are there people in your life you need to appreciate more? Are you being taken advantage of? Sometimes, you need crumble a little before you can rebuild.
