"I guess more context couldn't hurt." Connie sighs, rubbing her arms as she leans against the railing and looks out at the night sky. Thinking back on it, a normal human twelve year-old, no matter how well-trained and backed-up, should not have been getting involved in stuff on the scale of Hessonite's invasion.
"Before we did the whole 'bringing an intergalactic empire to its knees' thing, we fought monsters on Earth a lot. Like. A lot. That happens when all the nigh-immortal soldiers of a millennia-long war get turned into abominations and one side was completely unwilling to kill the other anyways, but I digress. Hunting the Corrupted Gems was... well, it wasn't easy, but I didn't get hurt too often. A few broken bones here and there, but it got fixed by Steven's healing powers pretty easy.
"Then Hessonite invaded, and brought her own army. Or, well, created one from an ancient artifact, but same difference. Point being they were way smarter than Corrupted Gems, attacked in formations, didn't have any instinct to target the Gems first, and had actual weapons.
"I mean, overall? I did pretty damn well for myself, I think. But I got hurt a lot more easily and often than I did ever before, and... I don't think I was smart enough to be scared, not really? But looking back on it... I don't know. It's weird to think about how often I almost died back then. Think it kinda messed me up in ways I'm still finding out about, haha."
it's genuinely a good game but unfortunately VERY BUGGY
