Floyd was putting the laundry on the line with Grandma when he heard singing behind him.

‘Every now and then I get a little bit lonely 
And you're never coming around’

 He was a bit surprised, he hadn't heard this voice before, but it also sounded familiar at the same time.

‘Turn around.

Every now and then, I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears.

Turn around’

He stopped what he was doing and turned around. 

‘Every now and then, I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.

Turn around’

To see Branch singing and dancing his heart out, he hadn't beard Branch singing in a long time. Not sense….

‘Every now and then, I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.

Turn around, bright eyes.
Every now and then, I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes.
Every now and then, I fall apart.’

He wanted to join in but he wanted to hear his little brother's voice. It's been a long time since he heard it.

‘And I need you now tonight’

He was so entranced by Branches singing, he didn't hear the bergen coming.

‘And I need you more than ever.
And if you only hold me tight,
We'll be holding on forever.’

Until he heard his Grandma screaming.

“BRANCH WATCH OUT!”

he snapped out of it to see the chief reaching its hand towards Branch. Grandma running towards him, and all he could do was stand there.

‘And we'll only be making it right,’

Frozen with fear

“WATCH OUT BRANCH!”

As the Bergen reach out its hand

‘Cause we can never be wrong.

And captured Grandma, Branch falling to the ground. Both of them are screaming, he thinks he's screaming too.

Then the chief saw him, and reached out its other hand. He was too scared to move, he was crying. As it took hold of him and stuffed him into the bag, with Grandma.

Hearing the screams of his little brother calling out their names. As the Bergen took them away to the castle.
