Implication, nothing. I'm sure they're doing this on purpose and it's going to become a plot point later on.

So far Rose has been presented as such an idealised, perfect, almost goddess-like figure. Steven has been pushing himself to be like her and be able to do the things she can do, and may even feel guilty over being the reason she's gone.

No doubt she did a lot of good, and she for sure earned the love and loyalty all the gems and Greg have for her. But in a show with such flawed characters, nobody is going to be that perfect.

I am just waiting for it all to come to a head. One day the pressure that is being put on Steven and this larger-than-life figure they have built Rose into is all going to come crashing down.

I'm pretty sure we might see some serious shit that Rose did during the Gem rebellion, seeing that Greg said that there's "no such thing as a good war".

Basically this.

And I don't mean I think Rose will turn out to have been *terrible*, of course not. It's just that the people she was close to have idealized her to such an extent, it's impossible for Steven to measure up to that. At this point, it'd be impossible for even ROSE HERSELF to measure up to that (and I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that she could've already been aware of this before making the decision to give herself up).

And at some point, that bubble will burst for everyone else, too. The seeds of that narrative direction have been planted a long time ago, and we've already seen them grow (and this allegory lost track of itself at some point).
