(INTRO - The music box starts, slow and delicate. The voices hum, layered like old memories.)

"One, two, three..."

"Tie the ribbon carefully..."

"Four, five, six..."

"Loop the chain around your wrist..."

(A child giggles, a whisper lost in the air. The piano joins—soft, playful, eerie.)

"Paper chains, colors bright,

Made to hold, made to bind.

One by one, we linked our hands,

Safe together in the sand..."

(The melody sways. A bittersweet lullaby for the ones left behind.)

(VERSE 1 - Their voices blend. Old friends, old ghosts, still singing together.)

"Cut the shapes, fold them tight,

Turn the dark into the light.

If we weave them, hand in hand,

Maybe we'll remember then..."

_(The violin sings. The music box ticks slower.)

"Do you recall the games we played?

Running fast, no need to stay?

Then the night knocked on our door..."

"And we weren't children anymore..."

(CHORUS - A chorus of voices. The lost, the longing. The ones who still wait.)

"Round and round, the story goes,

Where it stops, nobody knows..."

"If we laugh, if we spin,

Maybe we'll come back again..."

(The harmonies grow—layered voices, overlapping, whispering.)

"Paper chains, fingers tight,

Holding on to fading light..."

"If we break, if we fall,

Did we ever live at all...?"

(VERSE 2 - The memories are slipping. They clutch onto each other, desperate.)

"Once upon a time we danced,

Spun in circles, hand in hand..."

"But the scissors cut too deep..."

"And now we only dream in sleep..."

(A child's voice—alone—murmurs: "Don't forget me, okay?")

(The violin shudders. The clock ticks down. But still, they sing.)

(BRIDGE - The truth. The paper chains are breaking.)

"We held on, we never ran,

We stayed still like shadows can..."

"But even ghosts, even light,

Fade away with time..."

(The choir softens. Their hands slip apart. The wind carries them away.)

(FINAL CHORUS - The last, fragile echo of their game.)

"Round and round, the story goes,

Where it stops, nobody knows..."

"If we laugh, if we spin,

Maybe we'll come back again..."

(The music box slows. Their voices waver. The chains fall... one by one.)

"Paper chains, fingers tight,

Holding on to fading light..."

"If we break, if we fall..."

"Did we ever live at all...?"

(OUTRO - A final hum. Then—silence
