She hates me. I'm ugly. No, I'm grotesque. If I was ugly, I might stand a chance. But even my mother hates me. He is good looking – no denying that, and rich. What am I? I have no money, I don't look good, where as he is the Victome de Chagny. Why should she; a stunningly beautiful, highly talented soprano even look at me, a lowly deformed gyspy?

Pity

I don't want to be pitied.

All I want is to be treated as an equal – treated as a human.

To be loved… by her

But that will never happen.

Yet…

Yes she still kissed me. Is that love?

No, of course it's not. How can anyone love me? It's impossible.

But I still hoped.

Only to have my hoped shattered.

Her kiss was as sweet as I imagined.

Yet it had a sour edge to it.

She did not mean it.

She only did it because it would save her beloved boyfriend's life.

I should have killed him anyway.

But she was trusting me.

I couldn't do it if she was trusting me, no matter how much I hate him, and they hate me.

The love of my life – the only woman I have ever loved, hates me.

But I love her.

It's more than love.

Infatuation, obsession.

I didn't love her…

I was obsessed with her.

Wax figures, little models.

To a stranger – to someone normal, it would be terrifying.

But not for me.

But…

I'm not normal.

I'm a monster.
