Lore of Track 2: Eun-ha reveals why she ran away from home and how a mysterious spirit sent her to retrieve an ancient staff from a forgotten ruin. [meta instructions: [meta: main female voice] [meta: male character voice] [meta: no duet] [meta: no voice blending] [meta: follow voice labels exactly] [meta: never change voice without instruction]] [Intro: female main voice] The first ghost came to my mother's bed. He spoke so gently. He could not make her stay. Her last words were Eun-ha... My little light... and then she died. My father looked through me. He needed saving too. But I was only small. Too small for grief. [Verse 1] School became the brightest place I knew. Until another ghost found me there. He followed every morning. He whispered every day. [ancient ghostly voice] [layered whisper] Miro... His sorrow filled the hallways until I followed him. Down beneath the school. Past forgotten doors. Past broken walls. There he waited. And there... I found his body. [Chorus] Spirits are no friends. They carry stories no child should hear. They never stop calling. They never let go. Spirits are no friends. But they always find me. [Verse 2] The teachers called the police. The police questioned me. What were you doing there? I had no answer they would understand. So I told them the truth. Silence answered first. Then strange eyes. Then whispers. One pupil heard enough. By morning everyone knew. [Verse 3] No one sat beside me. No one walked me home. I had no best friend. Only a rumor. I asked my father, Please... help me. His silence hurt more than theirs. So one afternoon I kept walking. Not home. But away. [Bridge: female main voice] I stopped beside my mother's grave. Goodbye. She did not answer. For once... I was glad. Then rain began to fall. A man stood waiting. Without an umbrella. Without a single drop touching his clothes. Nice disguise, I said as I passed. He looked at me. [male character voice] You can see me? [Verse 4: female main voice] I told him everything. About the ghosts. About the whispers. About being alone. I don't want this gift. It isn't a gift. It's a curse. He listened. Longer than anyone else. Then he said, that there is something that can help me. [Chorus] Spirits are no friends. They often know the roads we cannot see. They often leave us more alone. Spirits are no friends. But they always find me. [Verse 5] [male character voice] A staff. Hidden inside old ruins. Bring it to me. I'll teach you how to use it. [female main voice] And what do you gain? [male character voice] He smiled. I helped a human. That changes how certain... people see me. You wouldn't understand. [female main voice] Perhaps he was right. So I went. [Outro] The ruins were silent. Someone had been imprisoned there. I was told not to listen. Not to believe. Not to set him free. The staff... was nowhere to be found. [ancient ghostly voice] [layered whisper] Seo... Then— someone spoke (someone spoke).
