"Meg dear," Madame Giry said. "Don't worry. He is a good person underneath it all."
"Mother….he killed people,"Meg said.
"Yes, but we will accept him. He's my oldest and dearest friend. A knock came at the door.
"Hello Erik,"Madame said hugging her old friend. Meg could have sworn she him smile. It might have been the first time The Phantom of the Opera had been shown actual love.

"Tea?"she asked him.
"Yes please,"Erik said. Meg watched Erik out of a knock came at the door.
"Who could that be?"Giry wondered.
"Probably Carlotta,"Meg said sighing. "Ever since I became the lead soprano. She's never forgiven me."
"It's not La Carlotta,"Madame Giry said. She carried a basket in.
"A baby?"asked Meg. Madame Giry attempted to pick the child up, but he screamed as she soon as she touched him.
"Oh the poor child,"Erik said sympathetically. He had seen plenty of children who had parents that worked in the Opera house, or came to see the show, and always wanted a baby of his own. He wanted someone to love, someone nobody could take away from him, and smiled and held out his arms.
"Erik, are you sure?"Meg asked.
"Yes," he replied. He took the child in his arms. The baby stopped crying instantly.
"He needs you," Meg told Erik.
"No. He needs to be among other people. He needs children to play with. He needs more than I can give." Erik said sadly.
"No," Giry said. "You can give what everyone needs most. The thing most people take for granted…your love"
