  Summary

  It's been so long since Steven's meltdown. Things were bad, yet with time it was getting better. He was happy, his friends and family were happy. Nothing bad was happening, things were peaceful as he always wanted. His Happily Ever After, truly.

  So why was he feeling so ... dull?

  (might rewrite this summary)
