[@21308] [hider=Possible spoilers for a flashback][color=82ca9d] "I'm not saying this to scare you, but I think it is something that you should know, because I've seen too many young gems like us...well...die, because they did not understand their own limitations. This isn't something I can sugarcoat. Gems like us...We aren't expected to last long. At least not at first. Some of us adapt. Most of us...Aren't so lucky. Some of us end up living shorter lives than humans. When I say we're fragile, I mean really, really fragile. Remember how I told you your gemstone is delicate? Well, that's your life right there. Your gemstone breaks, you die. And though it's hardly fair, ours can break easier than just about most every other gem. You cannot ever, and I mean ever, look at another gem surviving an injury or a fall or anything like that, and think you'll do the same."[/color] [/hider] [color=fff79a] "I am...Midly disturbed by this news. For what reason do you want to hug me?"[/color]
