No, he was not alone!
As the Phantom sat in a dejected heap in the Layer, little did he know that somewhere off in the world there was one like him. Yes, one with a deformity!
The unknown person trudged through the snow as he approached the Opera House. Somehow he knew that he would be welcomed here. Perhaps it was the angels which wept dark tears as the sky above him darkened with the coming storm. It did not feel like summer. It was never summer in his heart.
It was always dark. Dark and gloomy.
Much like his face, which was hidden by a white mask...
He approached the Opera House and banged on the door. It was opened by Megan Giry, commonly called Meg by those who knew her well. Nobody did, of course, she had unplumbed depths. Her blue eyes looked at him and she said, "Hello?"
"Hello!" he croaked. "I need help!"
She blinked blue eyes at his dark face. He looked familiar. He looked like...
He collapsed.
Meg screamed and ran down the dark hallway. The Opera House had burned but not all of it. She and her mother, whos name was Madam Giry, still lived there but no more operas were performed on the stage. Madam Giry was trying to buy the Opera House but no one knew where the money had come from, not even Meg. Legend had it that Madame Giry was the secret lover of Sir Gerald, who was a pirate. Perhaps the money had come from him. Anyway the managers of the Opera House had not sold to her, although it was rumored that someday they would. It was also rumored that Madam Giry had some sort of blackmail hold over the managers, who had gone to live in England to recover from the disaster of the Opera House. The Phantom had dropped a chandelier and a fire had devastated the Opera House. They had to recover from this both financially and mentally, and were seeing a famed psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud. It was not known how they were recovering, either financially or mentally. Their problems had become part of the legend that surrounded the Phantom.
She screamed and ran down the hallway into darkness. For a moment as she began to pass out she thought the Phantom had gotten her! Then she realized that she had slipped and fallen. As she picked herself up and ran back down towards the front door which was standing open like she'd left it, she realized something...
The man was gone!
