>>110416844You're making assumptions, not conclusions based what's shown though. You've talked a lot about how it told us shes gone but didn't show us. But it did show us. Pink Steven stares blankly ahead, and his voice is hollow and echoing, clearly to show it as unsettling and somewhat soulless and hollowed-out. This represents how Pink erased herself. It is also a version of Steven' voice, not Pink Diamond's, who by the way, still retained the same voice actor when she changed to Rose Quartz. All gems retain the same voice, except that Pink Steven has the voice of his human half. This shows that the Gem is simply forming an imprint in reaction to Steven, rather than doing what it was originally designed to do.
The how is pushing you, basically slapping you in the face with the fact that Pink/Rose is gone and that what's left is simply a part of Steven, like an organ, but you're not convinced because...silhouette?
