Okay, but the thing that lion did is so much important to me.

Look.

Here we see our Steven. He’s starting to look at everyone with more and more panic. Did he do something wrong? Did he unintentionally hurt anyone when he was a monster? Why is everyone looking at him? He is so scared and overwhelmed

Everyone is just...looking. Why is everyone looking, what did he do again-

And then all he sees is lion. Steven immediately has all his focus on this pink fluffy beast. Lion knows it’s very hard situation for Steven and he wants him to calm down and he knows it’s not going to be easy with literally everyone staring at him almost crying. So for now, lion asks Steven to focus on someone who isn’t emotionally drained right now. Lion asks to only focus on him.

And Steven does that. He hugs the only thing that is stable and calm enough to let Steven dump all his emotions on it. Steven is so tired. He needed that hug. He needed lion and no one else.

And that’s why having a pet in your life is so important and amazing 🦁
