To be honest, the one I feel most sorry for right now is Malachite herself. It's been stated before that fusions have a consciousness seperate of their components.

Squick aside, think of Malachite like Jasper and Lapis' child. Jasper is an awful, hyperaggressive, violent person, but she's being trapped and cannot control her own physical body. Lapis is a well-intentioned extremeist who's been trapped without the ability to communicate for who knows how long and has now taken control of Jasper's body. No-one is innocent in this situation except for Malachite. She's being forced to basically keep her parents stuck in an lose-lose situation that no-one is happy with, and she now has her parents arguing and fighting and just generally mistreating each other. And this is all happening inside her own head, so she can't do anything about it. Like, dang, I wanna hug her.
