Once upon a time,


a silly, impossible little Gem


named Pink Diamond


ran away from her Homeworld


to the planet Earth.


She transformed into Rose Quartz


and gave up her existence


to create a half-human child,


Steven Universe.


But so long as Steven has her Gem,


can they BOTH exist?


Is he her? Is she him?


Is she trapped inside his Gem?


This is so DISORIENTING


In a story unlike any other--


made up of multiple points of view--


who gets to tell the Tale of Steven?
