Meaning:
This is Robyn's cry of frustration against her father's well-intentioned but suffocating protection. It encapsulates the theme of confinement, revealing that the safety of the town feels like a prison to her and that true danger lies in the suppression of one's spirit.
You're one of us now. Stay, please.
