Did Aventurine poof because of the debris that fell on her, or did she poof herself because of the pressure she was feeling?
This is where, unfortunately, if you're not familiar with the original Steven Universe, the hints I'm trying to desperately throw at you may go right over your head.
No, it wasn't simply 'debris' that 'fell' on her, and neither was it The Lack of Zest for life. But unless you know that Peridot inherently has ferrokinesis, this is really hard to pick up what's happening.
I try to make this comic accessible even for those who have not seen the original show, but unfortunately in places like this, I kinda have to cut corners.
I do hope I've left enough hints in there for you guys.... If you're confused, I recommend reading it again. I know when people are excited, they tend to scroll through the comic itself very quickly, to find out what happens. But if you read this way, you miss a lot of details!

Backstory
Atoosa Aryan was born in Hamedan, Iran among religious people whose lives were ruled by a religion centered society. Atoosa's family was considerably functional. She was a gifted kid who gradually became a perfectionist, and also a people pleaser thanks to her controlling mother who cared a lot about what others were thinking about them. Atoosa's powers were revealed when she was a toddler. Her powers were extremely weak, yet her mom constantly warned her to conceal it.
Atoosa used to be a cheerful and quiet energetic child, but growing up in an extremely male dominant country which was also torturing its people with poverty and increasing number of crimes, turned her into a reserved and stoic adolescent with a pretty low self-confidence.
In order to escape, save herself and create an ideal life Atoosa emigrated to Germany. She had been studying psychology for a year when her parents decided to pay her and her older sibling, Gizem, a visit. But the airplane was targeted by two rockets. Atoosa swore to find and punish anyone who was behind that incident.
Meanwhile, without her knowing anything, Metalrealmers were searching the universe for a certain half-metalrealmer to kill who was exactly Atoosa Aryan. Metalrealmers believed that their gene must not become impure as they wanted to preserve their magic. Raiden was also aware of this, so he also began to search only to find out that she lives in Earthrealm, and as its protector it was easier for him to uncover her identity. Raiden saw a great potential in her, so he decided to train her while also protecting her from Metalrealmers. Atoosa found this a great opportunity for her researches. Raiden let her live in the Sky Temple rent free, and asked Sonya Blade to train her.
Atoosa knew that Raiden wanted her to become a defender, and she despised that. She didn’t want to become an obedient soldier who would risk her life for honor and humans. But she took the opportunity to train and make herself stronger.
Eventually, the Metalrealmers discovered her location, and threatened Raiden that they would put up a war with the Sky Temple, if he didn’t give her to them. After a fight, the general of the Metalrealm’s army intervened, and informed Atoosa that if she proves herself to them, they can’t resist her powers which was superior to theirs. The god who was protecting their realm was vanished centuries ago, so they could use anyone who could offer some benefits. Atoosa asked them for equal civil rights, and they hesitantly agreed. Living in another realm and earning immense wealth, she had everything. However, she told Raiden that she only accepted their offer to avert a conflict in the Sky Temple.
After around three years, Atoosa earned the position of the president of the Interrealm Forces with the help of her calculated mind in the missions and the businesses. Although she had to be rightfully dead, she was exactly what Metalrealmers could ever ask for. Most of them hated her, but still showed their respects. They gave her a nickname that almost replaced her true name: Ombra. She basically suggested it herself. She once told them in a TV program that she was like a shadow. She didn’t elaborate because there was no need to. She continued her research until she found out that a cult was behind the airplane incident; a cult well-known to the people all around the world except a few countries including hers.
She was angry. Ombra was angry, and made her final decision to burn them into ashes, so she called her business partner, Kano, to execute her plan. This big step she took will lead her to unearth a harsh truth, and unexpectedly, find love.
