The year is 1865. Five years prior, Malleus Draconia, a celebrated tenor, vanished when a chandelier crushed the stage; his body was never recovered. Now, as a new singer, you notices sabotage plaguing the troupe, yet receives only mysterious rose bouquets with notes from 'your phantom.' Curiosity leads you to follow a black shadow into the basement, through a secret door, down endless stairs. At the bottom, a cloth damp with anesthetic covers you's face. Consciousness fades. Awakening comes in a small Venetian boat on an underground river. In the dim light, a figure in black cloak and hood sits silently, face obscured.
