Introduction
After the Opera Popular was burned down. Erik escaped the building where his true life really started. He grew up in this place ever since he was a young child, when Madam Giry helped him escape the cruel gypsies. He had many memories of this place and it was what he called home. He remembered everything from when the first time Madam Giry brought him here, to when he met his love, Christine Daae, and wrote all of his music, made his costumes, the cold catacombs underneath that he lived in all these years. The catacombs; he would remember those very well. After all, it was where he slept each and every night then eventually would be awaken by a small, delicate monkey music box that would play Masquerade, which he grew up with. But why was his past all like this? Well, because of his disfigured face. That's why. He was turned on and betrayed by many. He had multiple looks of disgust looked upon him everywhere he went. All of this was happening too fast for him. He remembers all the heartache showed upon him within the last few hours that remained in that building. The Point of No Return, Christine taking his mask off when he was confessing the love he had toward her, him dragging her on her knees down to his lair, the wedding dress, the ring, the mirrors shattering into pieces, the choice, and there he is now. Just standing there watching his home burn down to the ground with fire.
