The sounds of music filled the Opera House, which wasn't in use at the current moment. Only the front part was which had the sounds of ballroom music playing loudly, and the sounds of laughter filled the vast room and the large stairs with people walking up and down them with fancy masks covering their faces with a flush of colour.

People danced across the room with lovers and partners danced gracefully with one another and their love so obvious it was sickening. Especially to the Phantom of the Opera who felt like gagging on his fizzling champagne. Masquerade balls were his once chance to feel normal with all the masks and the extravagant colours that matched his daring red suit and skull mask, which covered both sides of his face.

The ball was marvellous with dancing women and men. A few couples sneaking off to the dressing rooms to make love or whisper secrets. Most likely, the first one. The dresses were fabulous, and the suits were marvellous. The smells were of liqueur, perfumes, and cologne.
