With the Wedding approaching Big Mom decided to have a little talk with her precious daughter. With a rather large escort of homies Nutmeg is brough before her. The girl is grabbing her own arm nervously as her mother looks down at her.
"You called for me Mama?"
"Yes Nutmeg. I wanted to talk to you since the big day is coming! How are you feeling?"
"Good. I guess."
"Hmmmmm. You didn't sound quite enthusiastic there! I'm going to need you to put some more effort into it! You are going to be a bride soon! Look the part!"
"Mama I... can't. I just can't. Everything is moving so fast right now! I'm not sure how to handle it!"
Nutmeg erupts as she tries to defend herself.
"This-This is not how it usually goes. Every time you arrange for one of us to marry there is so much build-up. We talk about who it is and why the marriage must happen. And every time you pick the one most suitable for the job! I-I'm not sure why it was me! Or why you let him pick in the first place! B-But the worst part is that I don't know the plan! I don't think anyone does! Is it going to be like what we're planning for Pudding? Or am I like Chiffon? Are you throwing me under the ship because I'm expandable?! Mama I'm... I'm so confused!"
"Awwww. You poor baby."
Mama reaches down from her throne and pats Nutmeg on the head.
"Fine. If you need guidance that badly I'll give it to you. You want to know what the plan is?"
"Y-Yes! More than anything. Please Mama. Just tell me what to do!"
"Alright. It's nothing."
Mama grins.
"There is no plan Nutmeg. No assassination, no espionage, no extortion or murder. The wedding will go down normally. You don't need to do anything. Before, at, or after the ceremony."
"B-But... what is my job? What do I have to do?"
"Nothing. Having that thing in the family and keeping it happy is the goal. Whether it's you or anyone else it does not matter. He was allowed to choose for himself because that satisfied him. You will marry him. You will stay by him. And you will satisfy whatever perverse little desires he may have lurking in that skull of his. You do whatever it takes to keep him content. That is your job Nutmeg. That is the plan."
"W-Wha-"
"You will play the part of the bride, dress up, go to the altar, say yes and that's that. And you make sure he's content. You'll do all of that and more for the sake of your family. You are the sacrificial lamb. Do you get it now?"
Nutmeg was on the verge of tears now. But she knew if she didn't hold it in she'd face a kind of punishment she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy. So with her face shaking just a bit she muttered.
"Yes... Mama."
"Mamamama! I knew you'd get it! You were always smart Nutmeg. You're such a perfect little tool."
The last sentence that escaped Nutmegs lips was barely a whisper yet it carried all her defiance and a mountain of sadness with it.
"Mama... I'm... not a tool."
