The Gems are figments of Steven's imagination. His mother died during his birth and he himself was diagnosed with a fatal disease and is on his deathbed. Pearl represents his intelligence and occasional OCD. Amethyst represents his fun-loving spirit. Garnet represents the kind, thoughtful person he is. The Gems and monsters that the CGs fight are his death, and he must "fight" them to maintain the will to stay alive a bit longer. His illness is almost unavoidable and will eventually destroy him (teh cluster) but the doctors are trying to find a cure (drilling out teh cluster). As he keeps an optimistic attitude about everything, only time will tell if he survives.
