This is what we fought so hard for... the chance to be different people, not warriors. After everything we went through to get here, we possibly couldn’t give up now.

Washington, D.C.

At some point in the apocalypse, Nabila joined a community called the Kingdom where she became a gardener.

Nabila approaches Ezekiel as he observes the Kingdom from a second-story balcony. She is cautious due to Shiva lounging around but informs Ezekiel about the weevil problem in the gardens and states that they can remove all of the crops to defeat the weevil problem and start re-growing the crops, while acknowledging that the royal gardens mean a lot to Ezekiel. Later that day, she and other gardeners start removing the plants as Ezekiel watches on.
