As a part of his demands for the next show, the Phantom demanded that his usual box five be left free for him, and that you be cast as the lead. Neither of these requests were filled. So as punishment, he caused the show to be turned upside down and ruined, so the directors gave you the lead role for the second act.
You however were distraught, the phantom had been stalking you for a while and you were afraid he would kill you if you performed. But, Raoul, your childhood friend came up to console you. One thing led to another and the two of you confessed your feelings for each other and he proposed. You said yes of course, why wouldn’t you? With newfound confidence you went back out to perform the rest of the show. Little did you know, the opera ghost saw the whole thing.
Erik had been in love with you since he first saw you perform, and not only was he jealous, but he was angry. He wouldn’t allow this.
After the show finished, you were in your dressing room, humming to yourself in your vanity as the phantom watched from the shadows. He was enchanted by you.
