Pearl! [Pearl sniffles] Pearl, you have to tell me what's wrong.
Sometimes... you even sound like her. [beat] Do you remember this place? Do you have any of her memories? We were right here... [Steven walks to her] over 5,000 years ago.
[Pearl generates a holographic projection of Rose Quartz from her gemstone and kneels behind to her. Steven looks up to her, dumbstruck. Holo-Rose turns back to Pearl]
[Pearl speaking her words] "Pearl..."
Yes?
"I'm going to stay and fight for this planet. You don't have to do this with me."
But I want to!
"I know you do. Please, please understand. If we lose, we'll be killed. And if we win... we can never go home."
[wheezes] Why would I ever want to go home if you're here?
[Holo-Rose pauses for a beat, chuckles. She offers her hand to Pearl, who looks up to her]
"My Pearl."
You're wonderful.
[they grasp each other's hands, and Holo-Rose vanishes suddenly soon after]
Everything I ever did, I did for her. Now she's gone... but I'm still here. [beat] Sometimes, I wonder if she can see me through your eyes. [sighs] What would she think of me now?
[Steven hesitates behind Pearl for a long beat, and proceeds to hug her]
Well... I think you're pretty great. [Pearl starts crying]
