[ Glimmer can feel the echo of Ellie's guilt and hurt over failing. Glimmer's is there too--a failure to listen, a failure to be there for the friends who needed her, a failure to protect her world. She is Glimmer, though, and she is so, so strong. Her mother's words hold her up. Help her to keep moving forward. Her grip on Ellie's hand tightens so that it is almost white knuckled. What are you scared of? Ellie asks along with the boy from her memories. ]
I'm scared that I won't be able to get home. I'm scared that Etheria is being torn apart while I'm here and I can't do anything about it.
[ She swallows. She is crying still, tears coming down her face and without thinking she shifts closer, buries her face against Ellie's shoulder in search of comfort. ]
I'm scared that I failed; that it's my fault Etheria is in danger. Even if I get home I'll still be trapped in Horde Prime's prison and I won't be able to do anything to make up for it.
[ Her voice grows smaller. There's an impression of harsh words passing between her and Adora. A young man who tells her that to use the Heart of Etheria is wrong. That one hits her the hardest. There's a deep well of care and affection and love for him. It's a trust that permeates her to the very core of her being and the feeling that he does not support her, does not respect her as queen pushes a dagger of pain and anguish deep into her heart. Glimmer turns vindictive. She hurts and wants to hurt back. So she snaps at them, ordering them as their queen not to go off on a rescue mission for one of their other friends, long lost to them. They need to focus on winning the war and the Heart is their best chance to finally save Etheria for good.
They leave anyway. ]
That I won't be able to tell my friends how sorry I am for what I did and said. Like--like with mom.
