Family? What Family?
Christine, you ask of my family? I have none—at least, that I know of anymore or care to remember or associate with. I do not even have a familial name, Mademoiselle Daaé.
Oh what fun it must be, Christine, to have a family that loves and cares for and about you. Oh—I'm sorry—I forgot your family is all dead. I did not mean to make you cry. Please forgive me, my dear.
If anything, I do not dare wish upon another the pain and humility that was forced upon me during my childhood. Death's my family, and always has been.
