*Christine felt oddly frightened as she stepped up to the house of the man she had once loved. Had he really changed as much as everyone said?*
This is a mistake. I just know it.
*Regardless, she had to find out what had happened to Anneke. Reluctantly, she knocked on the door.*

*A maid opened the door and studied the young woman's face.*
Ah, please come in Miss.
*She led Christine through the halls until they reached the study door.*
I am afraid the Viscomte is not here today but please wait in the study until he returns.

"Viscomte."
*She stood up, a bit awkwardly.*
"I'm sorry to bother you, but no one else could help me. It's about my sister. You know, the one you impregnated and dumped."

"I-I know she died, but I don't know how. Then I saw someone. They told me..."
That you had been banging half the opera house.
"...that you had a child together."

"Things have changed so much. I've heard so many things about what has happened here. So many rumors."

"It was to begin with, but then I found the lifestyle addictive. I could not have escaped even if I had tried. So I had to fall."
*Raoul closed his eyes briefly in memory and rubbed his side as if a wound had once left it's mark there.*
"And fall I did."

"I'm sorry", *she whispered.* "But I could not stay after I knew you had been unfaithful."
*She closed her eyes for a moment*
"How did you stop?"

*Raoul glanced upwards before bringing his gaze back to hers.*
I found God, or rather he found me. I would never blame you for leaving. It was right that you did so.

"It wasn't easy. I loved you so much."
*She smiled slightly*
"When I came back, I thought things would be different, and they are. Now I have two phantoms who claim to have been my angel!"
