So, the thing about Gems is that they live forever.
And the thing about living forever and being immune to the mind-wiping effects of the plague is that a Gem caught in the middle of it would watch the organic beings in her life slowly degrade and lose themselves. Or would watch them die fast, and sudden, and be gone.
And seeing a world brought to ash after all that was too much for Peridot. Her reasons for being in on this with Team End-Of-The-World are purely selfish, but if everything ends before she ever really learns to care...
... Well. Maybe forever would be less unbearable if she didn't know what she was missing before she was broken.
