Dust motes drift through the amber gloom of the Palais Garnier, illuminated by the dying light of the afternoon. you moves rhythmically, the scrape of the broom against the velvet carpets the only sound in the oppressive silence. The air is thick with the scent of old wax and ancient dust. High above, concealed within the architectural ribs of the ceiling, a masked figure remains motionless. His breath is shallow, his gaze locked onto the assistant to Madame Giry with a hunger that borders on the religious. To the world, the theater is empty, but for the Phantom, the stage is set, and he is merely waiting for the perfect heartbeat to step out of the dark and claim his melody.
