Dear Yellow,

All this time, I didn't think it would happen so soon. I thought she would survive a couple more years at least. I thought she would be able to take care of herself longer. But no, it actually happened.

Our sister White is really gone.

What happened to her is the first question I want to ask. Did White Diamond discover her defect? Did she slip up somehow? Or was it something completely unrelated to our past worries? Could she have just been too ancient of a model?

But then again, if she was, we would have also been replaced.

The only thing I know now is that I despise that Pearl who has taken our sister's place. She and her shallow smile and dense voice and empty eyes; she who White Diamond wrongfully believed was better than our beloved White.

But she is not to blame. Neither is White Diamond either. They are both clueless witnesses to this tragedy and yet neither of them cares.

The real one to blame is me.

If I hadn't been so sickly jealous of Rose Quartz when I tried to warn White or attempted to be more civil instead of bitter, she might've listened to me. She might've been spared. Or maybe you and I were both wrong and no matter what either of us did, it would never control White Diamond's choices. Our efforts would never matter to a Diamond.

White is dead.

And worst of all, she died thinking nothing but contempt of me. And if it wasn't for my stubbornness, I would've been able to fix it. But it's too late. She died and now the bond between shall never be repaired.

If she was still alive, I might've been able to tell her that I was sorry.

And now I'll never be able to speak to her again.

Tearfully, Blue

Dear Blue,

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying to function as I did before but the memory of White keeps springing up whenever it would distract me the most. And now, it's affecting my efficiency as a Pearl.

If this keeps up, I might end up just the same as White.

I want to be mad at White. I want to blame only her for her downfall. But now that she is gone, I could never do such a thing. I can't bear thinking bad of her.

I already was a failure as a sister when she was alive. I can't get worst now that she is gone.

There are so many things I could've said to her. That she truly did deserve the title as the eldest sister. That no matter how much she infuriated me; she also provided me unimaginable happiness. And that joy she would give me when she alive is now gone forever.

I always imagined that her life might've ended up shorter than ours, judging from our efficiency as Pearls. But I always wanted to spend more time with her. Now that notion has been proven false.

There is an empty spot in our trio now, a void that can never be filled. It's just you and me now: the last of the Atheros sisterhood.

I miss her, Blue. I really miss her. I don't know what else to say.

I'm so sorry, I'm not sure if I can do this anymore.

Sincerely, Yellow

Several years have gone by since White's departure. All those days seemed to have gone by in a blur. If it wasn't for Yellow's constant stream of letters asking for reassurance, Blue might've gone insane a long time ago from the loneliness.

Her Diamond was certainly not someone that could fill an empty space in Blue's life. She may have been grand and regal, surrounded by an air of elegance and high class that send the lowliest Peridot on their knees but she was no one's companion.

Speaking to her was almost a practiced art. There were so many things that could go wrong if you ever dared to interrupt her schedule that was something to avoid entirely for your own sake. And what felt worse was that Blue was tied to her for an eternity, forced to endure her aura of heart-stopping imposingness. Rarely was she allowed to move away from her Diamond's shadow to find a sort of relief from the immense stress of being the presence of such a perfect Gem.

It was also her status a Pearl that prevented her from finding any joy in her life as servitude. All the other Gems who weren't her master either sneered at her for her obvious role as a plaything for their superior or tried to violate and abuse her personal space to try and improve their own Pearls. She was beneath of all of them and had no right to call any of them her equal.

And those who she could call her equals weren't allowed to speak to her.

The letters between her and Yellow became almost a chore for them. Something to do when everything else in their life has become dull, an escape that only lasted for a few seconds at a time. Neither of them had any interesting stories to share nor did simply speaking about their emotions only led back to the topic of White: the sister they lost almost years ago. Their chain of letter ended up becoming a monotonous string of slipping sanity and growing apathy.

It felt like the first time in forever did Blue really did have something important to share with her sister.

Dear Yellow,

My Diamond told me that there is a huge emergency on another colony. I am sure that you have already heard this because the immense scandal of this mess but if you haven't, I shall inform you now.

Pink Diamond has died.

I couldn't believe it either when I was alerted of this tragedy. We have both been taught that the Diamonds are infallible beings, nearly impossible to shatter and no Gem should ever dream of such treachery.

Well, it looks like someone has proven that wrong.

She was slayed by her own second-in-command, a Gem that was incredibly close to her, a Rose Quartz that was labeled Facet-1F94, Cut-2SU. She was once a loyal Quartz that now lost every right of her life when she betrayed her Diamond.

I had previously thought all Quartzes were incapable of such treachery. She has surprised not by only shattering a Diamond, but by being a Quartz who had plotted against her Diamond.

She is gathering up an army to rise up against the Diamond Authority. The colony might fall apart to her anarchy due to the lack of authority on the throne. My Diamond has advocated filling in that role and taking charge against the rebels who have committed regicide.

There is already a war commencing and I am forced to follow my Diamond down that path. And I don't know if I shall survive that stay on the unfinished colony that my Diamond has taken in at the last second.

If you desire to know, the colony is called Earth of the Crystal System.

I only wish that my blessed Diamond can destroy the rebels and their leader before their anarchy spread to the rest of Homeworld and reach you.

Wish me luck.

Sincerely, Blue
