And so concludes Phantom's story, for now. How truly wonderful.
<Background black>
And so, the story has reached its conclusion.
The lights turn off, the actors leave the stage, and the red curtains are slowly drawn.
The crowd has dissipated, and everything has once again returned to silence.
<Background 1>
Phantom has regained his self.
He yet remembers everything that he has done.
He understands that, as the lead actor, he is merely the troupe's bait.
One after another, he lured many earnest, upright men to this trap from which they can never escape.
A perilous journey where words are unnecessary.
Now, he is rescued, but what about before?
How many men have lost their way in this towering labyrinth?
Has he ever pushed his companions off the stage when they offered him a helping hand?
He dares not to imagine.
He feels nothing but shame.
[Someone approaches the contemplating Phantom...]
??? It's time you headed home, Lucian.
Phantom You're...
[...who are none other than his comrade Shalem.]
Shalem You gave Rhodes Island quite a bit of trouble this time. You'd do well to think ahead of time what to tell the Doctor.
Phantom Reciting an apology to the Doctor would only add to my guilt.
I will repay Rhodes Island with my actions.
Shalem That's good.
......
Come to think of it. This place feels familiar.
A stage, a theatre. This is the place that all actors strive for.
Care to sing a song?
Phantom My singing brings nothing but trouble, but if that is what you want...
Shalem Phew...
My apologies. I only wanted to make sure.
You are truly back now.
Need a hand?
Phantom ......
Many thanks.
