Steven is still in Yuusei's arms when it happens. As they collect his gem, Steven hears the song and starts to feel a bit more in control of himself, leaving him to wonder how the rest of the group is doing. Then, he hears the Mother's screams.

He squirms, pushing forward to see. He can feel his vine still wrapped around her, being trashed by her kicking legs. He can feel her pain, as loud as anything. His eyes go wide.

"Oh no," he breathes, but he can't bring himself to leave Yuusei quite yet. He doesn't know what to do. This... feels horrible.
