I don’t know why I’m getting so emotional here. Maybe because I miss the show ever so much. Maybe it’s the callback to the beginning of their story.

Maybe it’s because in “Laser Light Cannon” they were reliant on Rose’s power or brute force alone and look now. Look at Alexandrite’s cohesion. It continues the motif: where once she stood, they stand. Together. United.

Before, in so many ways, Rose gathered them under the shield of her being. She was their core, their greatest power. Now? Now the bond between them is their strongest weapon.

This is the sentiment I got: rather than rely on her, they now look within themselves for the strength they need.
