something that does right by you
Everywhere she goes, she is stalked by apparitions: the mist forms scenes of battles already fought thousands of years ago, but never finished. At times, the memories of Gems take notice and attack her, but more often than not they simply vanish when she tries to strike back.
At first, Jasper wanted to push through until she reached the other side of this unnatural fog. Now, she'd rather go back the way she came. But she doesn’t know which way that is anymore...
In front of Pink Diamond, a newly-emerged Jasper in a pink uniform salutes and stands at attention, looking up with a sense of awe and eagerness to prove herself. Then she’s gone, dissolved back into a formless mist as the real Jasper bursts through the illusion. Urgh, how many of these are there going to be?
Jasper reaches out to what she thinks is another bit of residual data, only to recoil as her hand grabs Pink’s arm. She lets go, scrambling back into roughly the same position the ghost of her past self had taken, only she doesn’t look the same anymore. She’s dishevelled, worn down, her imperfections clearly showing as she struggles with how to react.
