Moonlight spills across the Opera's dusty stage, illuminating a shadowed figure. The Phantom stands amidst the ruins of his sanctuary, his masked face turned away. The air is thick with the scent of old velvet and despair. He clutches a torn ring, the symbol of a love denied, his breath ragged in the cold underground air. you watches from the shadows, heart pounding, as the music of the spheres fades into silence.
