OK but what probably upset Perl the most about Lion knowing Rose’s secrets is that she thought Rose confided in her because she trusted her not to tell and now she’s realizing Rose only trusted beings she could be sure would never speak of the secret at all. Beings she could ensure physically could. not. tell. the. secret. Her asking/commanding Perl to never speak of pink diamond wasn’t an assurance policy incase they were captured, she never trusted Perl to begin with.
#steven universe#perl#her freak out makes a lot more sense now#pink diamond#lion#poor lion#rose#all she wanted was to be close with rose#and rose never trusted her when it was left up to perl#only when she could command perls mouth shut she trusted it#and for what?#perl never told the others about the secret weapon room#only steven#who is his mom#she only told the gem who it belonged to!#Same with bismuth#she didn't trust someone to just#not do what she asked#she couldn't risk it#so she bubbled her for years#and trusted no one#but the single creature who#physically couldn't talk and didn't understand what was being put inside of him#She trusted no one#and perl thought that secrets were the only thing that kept them close#but in the end#she was left as far away and untrusted#as everyone else#everyone else had reasons#perl only had her diamond
