Loss
Disclaimers: As always, I own nothing. Don't sue.
Summary: Someone goes insane…
You once claimed to love her, but where were you when she lost the last shred of her sanity? I sent you many letters, and Mlle. Giry told me herself that you received each of them. So where were you all this time? You abandoned her just when she needed you most…
That dreadful day; I remember it so vividly! It was bright and cheerful. We were having a picnic by the lake when she swore you were watching her from underneath the water. I tried to make her understand that you weren't there, but she grew increasingly agitated and eventually violent, throwing and destroying anything she could lay her hands on. I finally retreated to the shadows and let her rage until she passed out. Then I carried her to her bed. She was never to recover.
And now the doctor says she has mere hours left. Whose name do you suppose she is still crying out? Not mine; never mine! It's always about you, even now that her sanity's gone and you've never come. Even when I've been the one caring for her all these years…
Oh, Monsieur! My love, my life—Christine Daae, that Angel!—has gone to Heaven, leaving the both of us behind. What a loss the musical world has suffered! But the moment before she died, she became lucid enough to kiss me and call me by name! What joy I felt in that moment! And now, my Angel is gone, yet her song lives on in the man who loved her most—myself!
THE END!
Author's Note: I couldn't quite decide if this should be Raoul or Erik, so I decided to let the readers interpret it however they want to!
