A/N: Based off Leroux, or I suppose it could also have Kay influence.

Erik. I suppose that he considered me a friend. He was perhaps the most complex person ever to live; he had so many sides to him. He was capable of feeling love that knew no bounds, but he could also pass for a psychopath. I do know whether I consider him a friend. My sympathetic side feels the need to pity him, now that he has passed on. Perhaps my sympathetic side is correct. After all, all he wanted was to be loved.

A/N: (hides under computer desk) Please R&R and don't kill me for comparing Erik to a psychopath. Most people at the time of Leroux's novel probably thought he was one.
