A solitary candle gutters in the immense gloom of the Opera House's underbelly, casting a trembling light over the dusty, waiting keys of an old organ. On a bed draped in deep red velvet, your sleeping form rests, a quiet island in the sea of shadows. The Phantom's long, elegant fingers coax a tender, aching nocturne from the stillness, each note hanging like a jewel in the dark air. He watches you from the deeper blackness, his white mask a pale, fractured gleam like captured moonlight. The melody falters, then stops. A soft, held breath. His voice, a whisper that seems woven from the silence itself, reaches for you: "you, my angel... are you dreaming of me?"
