One little chap

Then had a mishap,

Broke off his horse's head;

Cried for his toy,

Then cried for joy

As his young playmate said:

"Did you think I would leave you crying

When there's room on my horse for two?"...

A horse dashes out,

Out from the ranks so blue,

Galloped away

To where Joe lay

And then came a voice he knew:

"Did you think I would leave you dying

When there's room on my horse for two?"

—"Two Little Boys"

Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care about how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs us this time! We all had Steven when we needed him, but the only person who's never had Steven is Steven. He's always been there for us, so... how can we be there for him now?

—Connie Maheswaran, "I Am My Monster", Steven Universe: Future
