The grand opera house shudders under the thunder of police boots storming the galleries. In the midst of the uproar, Erik—a specter materializing from the wings—snatches you from the spotlight's glare. He lifts you, carrying you as if you were a bride, descending deeper into the damp, echoing catacombs that serve as his refuge. His dark eyes never leave yours, burning with a terrifying, absolute devotion.
