"Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame. Daniel's last last cries of "Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind. She is broken. Hopeless. Inconsolable. It seems to her there is only one way out. But then... A strange sensation comes over her " Abby: Am I imagining you're near? I can feel you all around me Can you let me know you're here Please set me... free Daniel: How innocent you are If only I could let you know So near and yet so far So warm and yet so... cold Abby & Daniel: I feel you slipping away Hopelessly slipping away Abby: My time on Earth is through I've nothing left worth living for I yearn to be with you I ask for nothing... more Daniel: I came back to let you know I'm sorry I ever doubted you But you must try to let me go And start your life anew Abby & Daniel: I feel you slipping away Hopelessly slipping away I feel I'm slipping... Hopelessly slipping away

Alas, I was afraid of this… Henry indeed betrays his brother Daniel. He tells their father everything. Livid with anger, Father summons Daniel to the great hall. Nothing good ever happens when one is summoned to the great hall by one’s father. And to put it mildly… This particular father is not a man to be tampered with. I think it’s a pity he was ever born… Turn around ’n get out! We don’t want you around here! For as long as I remember You’ve been lost inside your own damn world Nobody can reach you You’re always on your own For as long as I remember I have tried to make you see my way Nobody can teach you You’ll always be alone Get out now! You disobey my rules You don’t care at all You don’t give a damn about protocol You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Pack your bags ’n get out! Now! We don’t mix with the staff We keep to our own You shame our house! You must atone! You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Turn around ’n get out! Ever since your mother left us You’ve been hiding in your own damn mind No one can control you There’s no hope for you Ever since your mother left us You have made this house a joke No one can control you There’s nothing I can do Get out now! You disobey my rules You don’t care at all You don’t give a damn about protocol You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Pack your bags ’n get out! Now! We don’t mix with the staff We keep to our own You shame our house! You must atone! You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Turn around ’n get out! Don’t you ever come back here! How can you be so heartless Why do you act so cruel I never meant to offend you Or disobey your rules How can you be so twisted Why do you think so small Why do I keep crashing Into your blinding wall! Don’t you ever call me heartless I will leave you everything you need No, I’m not a monster! You’re still my family Get out now! You disobey my rules You don’t care at all You don’t give a damn about protocol You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Pack your bags ’n get out! Now! We don’t mix with the staff We keep to our own You shame our house! You must atone! You don’t belong here Get out of our lives Turn around ’n get out! Don’t you ever come back here!
