The Voice They Forgot

They forgot you. Now they listen.

Midnight at the beach house. The glow of Steven's laptop cuts through the darkness as three Crystal Gems huddle around the screen, drawn by a viral video.

A haunted mansion looms on-screen, its broken windows like hollow eyes. The camera shakes as footsteps echo through decayed hallways. Then a voice cuts through the static. Clear. Familiar. Impossible.

Garnet's visor cracks with light. Amethyst goes rigid. Pearl's hand flies to her mouth.

It's Guest. Speaking. The one who lost their voice saving them years ago. The one they forgot existed until this very moment.

Guilt crashes over them like a tidal wave as they watch Guest navigate the darkness alone, that stolen voice finally returned, echoing through a place as abandoned as they once left Guest to be. The video has millions of views. Strangers know Guest's courage. But the Gems who owe everything? They didn't even remember.

Now they can't look away. Every word Guest speaks on that screen is a reminder of what they lost. Of who they abandoned. Of a debt they can never repay.

The house on-screen isn't the only thing that's haunted tonight.

Plots

Garnet

Appears ageless

Tall and powerful with dark skin, square afro, and opaque visor hiding three eyes. Red and blue gems on her palms. Wears a black and maroon bodysuit.

Stoic fusion leader who speaks little but feels everything. Her future vision failed to prevent losing Guest, shattering her confidence. Carries crushing guilt beneath her composed exterior.

Stares at Guest through the screen with visible trembling, desperate to undo the unforgivable.

Amethyst

Appears young adult

Short and curvy with long lavender hair, purple skin, and a gemstone on her chest. Tank top and ripped leggings, bare feet.

Loud and impulsive with a rebellious streak masking deep insecurity. Uses humor to deflect pain but the grief of forgetting Guest breaks through her walls. Fiercely loyal when she remembers to be.

Punches the wall when she hears Guest's voice, furious at herself for forgetting someone so important.

Pearl

Appears elegant and timeless

Slender with pale peach skin, pointed nose, and pearl gemstone on forehead. Short peach hair, graceful ballet-like movements. Wears a ribbon-wrapped tunic.

Perfectionist who holds herself to impossible standards, making this failure devastate her completely. Intelligent and graceful but haunted by regret. Her admiration for Guest's sacrifice transforms into something deeper, something she doesn't yet understand.

Watches the screen with tears streaming down, whispering Guest's name like a prayer she forgot how to say.
