Talk:Pink Diamond/@comment-38053937-20190408090633

If I recall correctly, my computer science teacher taught us that when a hard drive is formatted, usually the deleted data doesn't disappear, it goes into a deep layer or something.

Knowing this, we can compare Gems to CPUs. I feel Pink Diamond's gemstone "formatted" herself to make room for Steven's "data". We can see that when Steven is separated from his Gem, it assumes Pink and Rose's forms briefly, meaning the data is still there, yet inaccesible by normal means.
