This is Princess Azula. I have my firebending back. Meet me in the gym after lunch tomorrow.

Heyyyy sis. So uh, according to my warden item I'm supposed to be watching your back this month?

So how's it going? The flood waters catch you okay?

Hey.

I hear you were making out with Elijah in the breach.

Wanna compare notes?

[Spoilers: He knows you don't, he's just a lil shit.]

I need to tell you something.

OKAY, SO I WAS WRITING THIS GEM STUFF OFF AS NOT REALLY MY BUSINESS, BUT IT JUST BECAME MY BUSINESS BY PROXY!

ROSE IS PAIRED WITH SOMEONE THAT I'D PREFER THIS TEAM TRY TO KEEP ALIVE AND, YOU KNOW, IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MENTAL STATE HE IS RIGHT NOW! I HAD THREE WARDENS FEEDING ME SUPPLIES, THEN ONE GOT DEMOTED AND ONE WENT MISSING.

WHAT'S HER DEAL?

OKAY, WAIT, THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU YOU WERE A CAT. YOUR WARDEN KILLED YOU?

Jasper.

How are you feeling?

[Rose's voice is very quiet.]

...Jasper, I...maybe you won't listen to this. That's - that's your decision. But I...

I still don't think I ever could have stopped the war. From the moment I saw Earth and knew it was worth saving, it became...inevitable. The Diamonds...

[She checks herself.]

We would all have to have been very different Gems, for it to have happened any other way.

But there was so, so much I could have done differently. That I could have done at all and just...didn't.

[A pause.]

You told me that I started the war and didn't think about the harm it would really do. You said that you and countless other soldiers were created to fight for something that was based on a lie. You said that I just kept pushing and pushing for the Crystal Gems and the organics and I didn't care about...

[About you.

You punished me for loving the wrong you.]

...about a lot of other things.

And you were right. About all of it.

When I told you I wasn't perfect I could not see how true that was. Maybe I still don't see all of it.

I'm not asking for forgiveness. We still can't change anything that happened in the war. I just want you to know that I'm sorry for everything I did to you.

And - I'm sorry about what happened on deck.

That's all.

I haven't seen much of you this week. Have you been affected by the flood?

I didn't see you during the breach.

[And you've had plenty of time to be mad about it if that was your reaction!]
