If Eun is planning on refusing Winster's request and stop the restoration of the White-Ghost King... Then maybe I'd be more helpful if I stay away from everyone else. But if I avoid coming in contact with the White-Ghost King completely, I'd be betraying Eun's trust... It wasn't this hard when we first met. I was too busy thinking about my brother. I wonder what has changed since then.)''
