Spinel pondered what was being said, trying to comprehend it all as well as she could.  Bloodstone had done his best to deflect Sodalite's and Zircon's accusations that they had all been created to be warriors and nothing more.  She thought very hard on that.  Spinel thought about everything she'd ever felt, which was nearly nothing.  From the time of her birth, she'd had something like...  Urges, that was perhaps the best word.  She'd had something like a guiding instinct, but she'd never truly had feeling, the way a normal human or gem would.  She was completely oblivious to that latter part though... or at least she would have been.  She thought back to the moment when she and Aquamarine had fused, to the moment when they ultimately failed and Spinel was hit with a wave of Aquamarine's emotions.  She couldn't have imagined being in more pain, and that event had temporarily made her unable to function.  

Spinel thought more on Aquamrine's words.  [i]Corrupted... unable to think normally...[/i]  Had Spinel been made that way on purpose?  She wasn't interested in being Aquamarine's advocate right now, but she felt that she needed to voice this concern.  "The way I was made, is that why I can't experience the same emotions the people around me seem to?  Is that why sharing some of Aquamarine's emotions made my mind... break?"
