Jeslyn woke up the next morning, long before Erik did. She got out of bed and went to sit by The Phantom's organ. It was then that she realized that it was the morning of opening night. Jeslyn took a deep breath, trying to keep herself from completely breaking down. At the same time, Erik was waking up. He heard an angel's voice singing from the other room. He got up and leaned against the arch that served as a doorway into the main cavern of the lair. He saw Jeslyn sitting at the organ, her back turned to him. She was singing, "Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known." her voice caught, "God give me courage to show you, you are not alone." Erik then sang, "Angel of music, you denied me turning from true beauty." Jeslyn turned around and began to sing with him, "Angel of music, do not shun me, secret and strange angel." They stopped. Erik started to walk toward Jeslyn singing in a haunting tone that he hadn't used in 200 years. "I am your angel of music, come to the angel of music." Jeslyn became mesmerized by his voice. He beckoned to her and she got up and walked toward him, almost like she was in a trance. He put his arms around her waist, "Jeslyn, stay down here with me, please, stay for good." He had dropped the hypnotic tone. Jeslyn was about to say yes, but then snapped back to reality, "You know I would love nothing more, Erik, but people would come looking for me. They may come looking down here and find you. And I can't, I won't let that happen." Erik's face fell and he nodded in understanding, avoiding her eyes. Jeslyn took his face in her hands, "I have to go, there's so much to do before the show tonight." She made him look her in the eyes, "I love you. I love you more than anything in this world and I would do anything for you. Please know and remember that." She said. She then kissed him and wouldn't stop. For in her mind, this was probably the last time he would hold her lovingly, the last time they would kiss. She then went back up through the mirror, completely and utterly alone. Once she was back in the Opera House, rehearsals began. They went through the entire play and Jeslyn tried to push Erik and what she had to do that night out of her mind. After rehearsal Devon pulled Jeslyn aside, "I want you to write a note to your Phantom and tell him that Box 5 will be left open for his use." Jeslyn gave Devon a questioning stare, "Oh, we aren't going to trap him. I just want him to be able to see you. One, last, time." Devon walked away and let what he said do it's damage on Jeslyn. She did write the note, and she taped it on the inside of the mirror. It was time to get into costume and makeup, so she left the note which she had signed, "From the one who loves you more than you can imagine."
