[Narrator : Jane, solo voice] [Intro ] Richard has always trusted faces before trusting systems. That’s why they noticed him. [Verse 1 — The Human Side] Richard knows their habits, their laughter. He knows the cold coffee and the messy desks where big ideas were still just dreams. Aymeric talks with his hands, always restless, surprised that his own inventions actually work. Gyu-Young stands right beside him, a silence that feels like home. They’re not just partners. They’re family. That matters. When you’ve shared the doubts and the lean months, you’re not strangers anymore. That’s the point. [Pre-Chorus — The Real Need] Richard isn’t greedy. He just needs the numbers to align so he can stop counting every cent, to be sure that next month, the bank won’t come for the walls he spent years trying to build [Chorus — The Universal Trap] Trust never feels like a trap when it comes from people who already know your life, who know what you fear and what makes you smile. [Verse 2 — The Crack] Solène feels the air getting heavier. Not because he lies— but because he carries the debt alone. He says: “It’s just a test.” “It’s just for a few months.” “They’re friends, Solène.” Love stays. But it stands on its tiptoes now, listening for the sound of the floorboards about to break. [Verse 3 — The System - Helena from Eleusis] Then, the woman arrives. Later. Quieter. She presents herself as a lawyer. Contracts. Safeguards. Stability. She doesn’t talk about dreams; she talks about security. She doesn’t say Aymeric’s name. She doesn’t even look at the project. She speaks of guarantees instead. Of protection for his family. Of the fine print at the bottom of a page that makes all the problems go away. She calls it compliance. Others call it order. She represents a faceless power, the kind that decides the future while everyone else is sleeping. She doesn’t need to force him. She’s just waiting for him to get tired. [Bridge — The Choice] Two worlds. Two pressures. One built by people trying to do some good. The other, a network that learned to turn power into a simple formality. [Final Chorus] Eleusis does not force Richard. It offers him peace of mind in exchange for a signature that feels like nothing. And that is exactly where the danger hides. [Outro] Richard hasn’t signed anything yet. But he’s looking at the ceiling of his home, calculating what peace will cost him. Both sides are still watching
