[Huh, she thinks about how Ren explains it and it kind of makes sense to her. Since she's been exposed to emotion powers before.

They did very little to her, but still!]

That sounds very useful when the moon hits you hard, Ren.

Besides the whole needing chroma to use it part?

[That's one thing Lapis will always be a grump about, her powers are a part of her so the chroma thing is just wrong.]

It just seems... Strange to me. Everything a Gem can do they can just, do. No need for chroma or aura or anything other then a Gem being whole.

[She exhales a sigh now.]

I don't even think I could guess at how you unlocked it, Ren.

That's... That's awful.

[Seriously that sounds kinda fucked up, even if it did save his life.]

Ugh. At least you came out okay.

[And because it just hits her...]

And it almost explains why the Mercury fellow is how he is.

Only he knows, and I doubt he'd share it.

[This is a kind of depressing subject!]

Well, I think everyone is lucky that you and your friend turned out okay after such a thing.

... That can apply to everyone, Ren.

[Pobody's Nerfect after all.]

[Everybody dies, eventually.]

Well, of course. But don't beat yourself up over it either.

[Not really, both are dying.]

If you say so...
