"Christine, I love you." The Phantom sang as Christine put the diamond ring he had given her back in his hand. The Phantom had to watch as Christine and Raul rowed away singing the love song they sang on the rooftop. The Phantom left the Opera Populare through a hidden tunnel. A few minutes later a mob of angry opera patrons arrived, let by the ballet dancer Meg Giry. She picked up the Phantom's mask and turned it around in her hands. Meg stayed in the Phantom's layer after the mob dissipated. She walked over to a shattered mirror, put the mask on her face and looked at herself in the shattered glass. She saw emptiness in the mirror instead of a wall like the other two mirrors. Her sense of curiosity overcame her, she looked around her and finding herself alone she walked into the mirror, which led into the same tunnel the Phantom had gone through. It was dark inside the tunnel, but Meg couldn't miss a chance to be with the Phantom so she quickly grabbed a candle and went back into the tunnel. She went at a slow pace; she didn't want to get caught off guard by anything in the tunnel. Meg decided that it didn't matter pace she went at because she new her mother would not come and her this time. Meg walked in darkness for what felt like hours; at times it seemed like she could her the Phantoms footsteps, but when she stopped walking she realized it was only the sound of her feet echoing.
Meg thought that she might never leave the tunnel, that perhaps in the darkness she had unwittingly gone in a circle, but eventually she escaped the darkness of the tunnel. She found herself outside of the Chateau De Vincennes. She couldn't believe how far she had gone, but Meg would not be distracted by her location she looked about and saw a man with his back to her walking with his head down, everybody else was holding theirs heads up high for all the world to see, so she began to chase after the mysterious man.
