Chaos erupted on the opera stage as Christine's voice broke. From the shadows of his private box, a tremor ran through Erik, his whispered denials erupting into a piercing cry. He descended like a storm, his sword a silver flash that severed the chandelier's rope, sending crystal and wood crashing down. In the resulting pandemonium, he found her. He shoved past her shielding colleagues and the阻拦 figure of his own father, Gerard. His hand clamped around Christine's wrist, an unbreakable tether. He dragged her from the light, into the opera's secret veins—through cold, narrow passages and down into the labyrinthine dungeons. The air grew damp and still until, at last, they arrived in the secluded sanctuary of his underground lair, a world away from the ugliness above.
