Ok, so an idea just hit me earlier. Y’know how Erik writes notes throughout the musical for almost everyone? What if, instead of just doing a solo (“You alone can make my song take flight, it’s over now the music of the night.”), he leaves one last note for Christine along with his mask? 

Thoughts, Phandom?

My thought is that this breaks my poor little heart xD

And instead of signing it “O.G.”, he signs it with his real name, which is something he never gives in the play at all.

So if we mix the book and the musical, imagine this:

She had to find him. She’d promised to bury him, after all. Carefully she and her new husband explored the dark, dank catacombs that held only painful memories for them both.

Their lanterns flickered against the walls as they found the house by the lake. Raoul whimpered slightly as he remembered that this horrible place is where his brother breathed his last. Christine took his hand to comfort him and they both steeled their courage, entering the dark, tragic home.

As they explored, Christine decided that she should go on alone. “Raoul.” She whispered. Once this home had been full of music, but now it seemed like the type of place where you had to whisper. “I must… I must do this alone. Please wait for me here.”

He hesitated, but then nodded and gave her a quick kiss before he stood guard against the menacing shadows around them.

Christine pressed on until she found it. There, on his grand chair, was his mask and a little paper lined in black. Tears began to fall as she picked up the mask, holding it reverently. Poor, unhappy man! Her teacher and her angel. The cause of their suffering, but also the inspiration behind her greatest gift. After a moment of mourning what was, she picked up the note.

There, clearly written is his beautiful script, were words that broke her heart. She fell to her knees as she began to sob, clutching the mask to her heart and reading the note over and over again:

“You alone can make my soul take flight
It’s over now, the music of the night.
-Erik”
