This is a mix of quite a few storylines in Ghost Quartet, and it describes the “bad men” of the show: the Shah, the Astronomer, and the Bear. First, in the Ancient plotline, Scheherazade tells the story of Rose and the photograph to the Shah. Then the Astronomer asks Pearl to look into his telescope, so Rose Red realizes that the Astronomer and Pearl are together. The song then skips forward to when Rose Red had already gathered the four items for the Bear and now brings them to him. However, the Bear takes them and refuses to help her in her revenge scheme.
