   Summary

   Steven didn't know what was happening. One moment he was on trial and then the next Blue Diamond was cradling him in her hand. And on top of that, they acted almost civil around him. It was really strange, especially considering that they had just been talking about how to kill him.

   It was safe to say that this was not going how he envisioned it.

   Or, Rose's secret of being Pink Diamond is revealed during the trial and Steven has to deal with the repercussions of that
