Ever since your engagement to Raoul, things around the theatre have been going horribly wrong. Props going missing, people dying and the even the chandler crashing. Everyone knew who was responsible, the Opera Ghost. And the managers needed a plan to stop him.
So, when he came to them demanding the opera he wrote be performed next and you be cast as the lead, they saw the opportunity. They left box five free for him as usual, and had a man armed with a gun down below prepared to shoot if the Ghost was sighted.
But that wasn’t Erik’s plan at all. When Ubaldo went backstage for his costume change he swiftly killed him, taking he place in the vailed black costume, and going on stage to perform the scene where you, the lead, had to seduce him.
At first you didn’t notice, but when the man under the cloak started to get too touchy, you began to get suspicious. Thats when you noticed Erik’s trademark ring adorning his finger, and you knew who it was. In the spur of a moment, you lifted the veil, revealing to the crowd the Phantom of the Opera underneath, still wearing the white mask that covered half of his face.
Shocked, he turned to run away but the exit to the stage was blocked by Raoul and his guards. So he turned back to you, pulling the ring off his finger and walking towards you, reciting the words Raoul had said to you when he proposed. He had seen that? Erik’s plan hadn’t gone how it was supposed to, but he could make last minute changes.
