After Nessa gave Quackity a tour of the quickly growing nation of Pogtopia, she went back to her room to rest and process everything that had happened. They now had the ex-vice president of Manberg on their side. And Wilbur didn't give a fuck about loyalty anymore. Wilbur, of all people! 

Nessa buried her head in her pillow and shouted every swear word she knew. It wasn't fair! Why did Wilbur have to lose his mind? Why did they have to be exiled from the country they founded! Sighing and getting up, Nessa decided to put on some music to calm herself down. She popped a disk into her jukebox and listened as the music started playing.

Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming

"I'll only go to school if you give me a reason

The kids are really mean and I already know

All the things they're teaching"

Hopped in the car, mama let him play hookey

Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

She's the only one who saw who he was

No one else could read him

Showing up late but he makes it to class

Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back

He daydreamed away to a sky so gray

Everything's simple, it's driving him mental

Wishing everyday that something would change

Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes, saying

"Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?"

He does all that he should

Why is he misunderstood?

This is a story 'bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone

Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alone

(Gosh I love this song.)

Lying on her bed staring at the ceiling, she started to sing along to some of the lyrics. Singing had always helped her feel better, and this time was no exception.

Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows

Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

With a bunch of fake friends 'cause he tried to fit in

But it wasn't working

Ran in with the law 'bout a dozen of times

Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes

Still he says to himself

"What are you doing, you don't deserve this
