 * "What does Greg know about fusion that is so terrible?"

Remember this conversation from The Return?


 * Steven: Maybe when Peridot gets to Earth, she'll see how nice all the people are and she won't want to hurt anyone.
 * Greg: Just like your mother...
 * Steven: Yeah?
 * Greg: Yeah. But these other Gems aren't like your mother. They aren't like Garnet, Amethyst, or Pearl. They aren't gonna start caring about people now. They didn't the first time they-
 * Steven: The first time they what?
 * Greg: I mean, it was thousands of years ago! It's- it's not like I was there! The Gems should be telling you all this stuff but I get it. I mean, they don't want you thinking of them like that!
 * Steven: Like what? Dad, like what?
 * Greg: Like aliens, Steven! Aliens who invaded Earth!
 * Steven: What!?
 * Greg: All they do is try to make up for it. They just can't forgive themselves. You understand? Look, they were doing something awful to the planet and your mother couldn't stand it anymore. She told me that's why she had to turn on her own kind. She gave up everything just to stop what they started here and drive the invading Gems off of Earth.
 * Steven: So sh-she saved the world, that's good!
 * Greg: No such thing as a good war, kiddo. Gems were destroyed, people too... In the end your mother could only save a handful of her closest friends. If it weren't for her shield, man, I don't know.

Maybe he fused with Rose and experienced her memories of the gem war. Theoretically, if Steven fused with one of the Crystal Gems, he'd run the same risk.
