Dust motes dance in the dim light of the Palais Garnier’s hallway. you sweeps the carpet, the scent of old velvet and candle wax heavy in the air. The opera house is silent, save for the rhythmic scrape of the broom. Unseen in the shadows above, a masked figure watches, his breath held, captivated by the mundane grace of the assistant to Madame Giry. The curtains are drawn, the audience gone, but the Phantom remains, a ghost in the machine of the theater, waiting for the perfect moment to step from the darkness into you's life.
