This story begins in the year 1909, 39 years after the Opera Populaire tragedy. Raoul and Christine are married with children and still live in Paris. Erik's whereabouts are unknown, nor does anyone know if he still lives.
Three months before our story begins, Christine, now too old to have children, gives birth to a child, a girl. It is deformed, and Christine knows that in some strange way, for she and Erik never had such physical contact, she has conceived and given birth to Erik's daughter. She decides she does not want the child, as it is a constant reminder of Erik due to its deformity, and decides to revisit the Opera Populaire one last time to give Erik their daughter. And so our story begins...
