Although Garnet and Emerald were not able to find the magic clam for the past ten days, their friendship started to blossom and they become closer.
Garnet would always get seaweeds for Emerald and they would enjoy eating these together after their search. After eating, Garnet said,
"Emerald, we've been searching for quite some time, yet I do not know why you badly wanted the magic clam."
"I don't know how to explain it and you might not believe it also."
"How will I be able to fully help you if you don't trust me?"
"Let's just say that I need the magic clam because of its powers and its the key to my old self."
"Your old self? What do you mean?"
"Hmmm..."
Silence ensued. Emerald did not know what to say. How much should she reveal to Garnet. She trusts him now, but she doesn't know how to explain.
