There have been exactly two rotations of the Earth since we have terminated the Cluster. This would mark the sixty-second day since my…capture.

I would've thought that ridding the Earth of the Cluster would feel more…relaxing. We no longer have to worry about the great harm it could've caused us. But everyone appears to be acting the exact opposite of how I thought they would. The Gems appear more distraught than usual. They're also acting very tense. I've tried to think back to the past couple of days to try and remember if I said something that could've offended them…but nothing comes to mind.

We have made conversation since our success, but it is very limited. We talk about cleaning out the Barn, and making preparations to going back to the Crystal Temple. I've seen Pearl and Amethyst talk amongst themselves. I even see them laugh every now and then. I always think to myself, "Could they be laughing at me?"

The only one who has actually made any effort to try and lighten the mood was Steven. He is constantly trying to cheer up the Gems, and is always telling them how proud he is of them. I witnessed him and Pearl talking. I couldn't quite hear what they were saying, but something Steven said had caused Pearl great emotional distress, which led her to start crying. I was considering going over to her to try and offer my moral support, but then I thought, "What if I'm the reason that she's upset?"

And then there's Garnet. She doesn't even make any effort to talk to anyone. She has immersed herself in endless amounts of cleaning. She has been successful in avoiding any type confrontation with us. Steven attempted to talk to her, but she appeared unaware of the fact that he was talking to her, as she never responded to him.

I desperately want to know what's wrong with them. They are such strange beings. They should be rejoicing over this victory, but instead, they're sulking! It's quite baffling, considering the fact that they seemed so excited to build the drill.

I went over to the lake to gather some tools, when Steven walked over to me. "Hey, Peridot!" he said. I acknowledged his presence with a grunt. "Well…um, when you go back to put your tools away, Garnet just said she wanted to gather us all for a mini-meeting. I'm pretty sure it has to do about leaving the barn. Man, am I going to miss this place! But I have kind of missed being back home at the Temple…I haven't seen any of the Beach City Residents in over two months!" He paused for a second. He opened his mouth, as if he was about to start talking again, but then he closed his mouth. "I'll catch up with you." And then he ran off.
