Amber had wondered why Steven, Garnet, and Amethyst didn't intervene, and started losing hope as the situation escalated.  However, Citrine's gem began agitating and floated up into the air.  Amber pulled back as Citrine reformed and confronted Halite.  Something about Citrine made Amber feel calm, her previous sense of hopelessness leaving.  Amber saw several gems leave before confirming whether or not the situation was completely defused yet, so decided to stay.  Amber got up off the ground and stood behind Citrine.  She summoned up enough courage to speak to Halite, hoping what she said wouldn't anger him further, "Not all gems here have fought or harmed other life...at least, I know I haven't." Though technically, she had killed the caretaker of her kindergarten, she had no memory of it.  "I'm sure there are other gems bubbled up that are like me, and it wouldn't be right to judge them without at least letting them speak for themselves.  You wouldn't do that, right?"
