Scene 6

As the lights come up the fire is out. Layla lies lifeless, with her head-on Envy's lap. The cage is smoldering. The girls are crying softly. Envy is weeping softly over her sister's body. Namoon takes off her lavender head scarf and hands it to Envy. Envy gently wipes the soot from sister's face then places the hard scarf under her sister's head as a pillow. (The other girls weep softly.)

Namoon: She was so brave.

Envy: Yes, she was.

Dahlia: The bravest Yazidi girl.

Alisa: No one ever touched Layla.

Selwah: What about us? Who will have us now? We're used goods. Filthy rags! (The other girls agree.)

Envy: (gently laying her sister down, she stands up) What?! Was Layla's sacrifice for nothing? You are not used goods. You are all brave, fearless women! Do you hear me? (all the girls nod.)
Namoon: What do we now?

Envy: We live and we fight.

Suddenly 3 masked men enter. Layla lay lifeless. The rest of the girls scream except Envy; she stands in front of the girls ready to fight. The three men reveal their faces. It is Papa Fadhil, Malak and Ari.

Papa Fadhil: My girl, it's me Papa!

Envy runs into her father's arms and weeps for the first time.

Malak stands by patiently waiting for his turn to hug Envy.

Ari rushes to Layla and kneels by her side.

Ari: (he picks up Layla's lifeless body and cries) Layla! Layla! (As he rocks back and forth with her in his arms Layla coughs and wakes up.)

Layla: (weakly) Ari? Is that really you?

Ari: Yes my love and if you'll have me I'll never leave you again.

Layla: Yes I'll marry you! Is it ok Papa?

Papa Fadhil: I've already given my blessing. (He kneels down near his daughter and hugs them both.)

Malak: (stepping closer to Envy) He gave his blessing too.
Envy: Oh, he did, did he?
Malak: Yes—if you'll have me Grace.
Envy: Call me Envy. (Malak hugs and spins her around.) And I'm not sure I want to marry anyone ever.

Malak: But I am not just anyone.

Envy: (she pulls Malak towards her.) No your not. Your God's messenger. (Then she kisses him full on the lips.)

All sing Reprise: "Falling in Love" chorus.
If this were a perfect world; there would be no wars or strife
It would be a perfect place where we could make a life together.
(repeat)

The End
