Poppy just finished her transformation as Branch holds her closely from the pain and Stone stares in shock by the love they have for each other.
Nuka: Well, well. - She claps with a grin - What a turn of events! New member of the clan. You all know what that means! We must hurry back and hold another feast for the-!
Stone: No!
Nuka: No?
Stone: You have to let them leave.
Nuka: You know family doesn’t leave family. They’re coming back with us.
Stone: They don’t want to and I’m not going to let you force them to come back. They already have a family and friends where they live.
Nuka: And look what happened when Branch return to them! He came right back like I said he would. No one else will accept us except for family.
Stone: Branch only came back to find a cure when he accidently scratched the little one! Not because he wanted to be with us!
Nuka: Are you serious? There is no cure!
Stone: That’s what I told him because I’ve been looking for one and now his wife is suffering the same fate as me. Please, have some decency. Don’t let them suffer as I have and release them.
Nuka: I will not release them for the same reason I have never let you leave.
Stone: That is not why you have such a tight leash on me!
Nuka: I do not have a leash on you! I’ve said it over and over again, you won’t survive out there and we are a family! We stay together!
Stone: They belong back with their people!
Nuka: Their place is with us, just like you! Family -
Stone: Stop using that excuse! I get why you won’t let me leave but at least let them!
Nuka: We have been over this! They’re not going anywhere just like you never will! We stay-
Stone: Enough already! That’s not it! When are you going to admit the real reason you won’t let me go is because you’re in love with me?!
Nuka: ?! ... You do not speak to me like that.
Stone: It’s the truth. Now release them.
Nuka: No. We’re going home.
Stone: We might but they’re not coming with us.
Nuka: Stone.
Stone: I am not letting you do this to another troll.
Nuka: What are you talking about?
Stone: You take people away from their real homes and force them to be with us. No. Not again. I don’t want anyone ending up like me.
Nuka: There’s nothing wrong with you! We’re through here.
Silence falls as Nuka and the other clan members follow her until...
Stone: I will not let
You make the same mistakes again
I will not let myself
Watch their hearts feel so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the pathway
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but every troll around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I run away
But it's not too long before you find me out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Nuka: Stop singing! Your pain is not my fault. If it wasn’t for us, you’d be long dead by now.
Stone: - He stares at her sternly -
Nuka; We took you in and treated you so well.
Stone: You watched me die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
Nuka: What?!
Stone: We were so young
I should have known
Better than to lean on you
Nuka: Enough!
Stone: You never thought of anyone else
Nuka: Be quiet!
Stone: You just saw your pain
Nuka: Stop it!
Stone: And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing!
Nuka: Silence! - She attacks and scratches Stone across the cheek. His blood splatters near Branch - - Other trolls gasp and take a step back from her -
Stone: - He slowly faces her with a glare, not bothering to touch the cut on his face - Because of you
Nuka: No...
Stone: I never stray too far from the pathway
Nuka: Please stop...
Stone: Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Nuka: - She runs at him again but he grabs her wrists and forces her to stay when she tries to get away -
Stone: Because of you!
I try my hardest just to forget everything - he tosses her to the ground -
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Nuka: - she turns away to cover her ears -
Stone: Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
Because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Nuka: - Not facing him, she kneels on the ground, keeping her head down while shivering -
Stone: Because of you
Because of you
Nuka: - She doesn’t get up from her spot -
Stone: - He goes to Branch and Poppy and looks at Nuka - We’re leaving.
