You're here to scold me too, aren't you? Visit and tell me what a worthless thing I've become, I'm disgusting and violent and don't you think I'm aware of that?

You can take me away, can't you? Anywhere. I don't care. Away from here.

Just not the ocean.

I miss it. I just - I don't want to be near it anymore.

Oh.

[Awkward pause.]

Then the Opera Ghost's work is done!

[submergence]

[Cold chills and wide eyes and oh god no.]

"Opera Ghost," did you say?

[ingenue_bait]

[yes]

NO

[submergence]

No?

[but she's pretty sure -]

My mistake then. Forgive me, Monsieur.

[ingenue_bait]

Are you not frightened?

[submergence]

Unsettled, more likely.

[Meg, stop, you are terrified, there is no face to save.]

I am familiar with the Opera Ghost.

[ingenue_bait]

He remembers you... differently.

[submergence]

How differently?
