imagine everyone coming out of the cave, and gus is broken. BROKEN but everyone seems to be done with the Sick and there's no urgency anymore but she doesn't understand because Birdie is still missing, so why is no one trying to find her- because if she went in the cave with Gus then where is she, and why isn't she walking out right now, and whY. WHY is Gus crying and screaming for his mom, and why is Jeppard staring at his hands and why is Nuka- why is Nuka sniffing Jeppard and sitting down and. and crying, and she doesn't understand because Birdie is still out there and they still have to find her because she wasn't in the cave because she would have made it out alive. She would have.
