They had made so many songs together.

He was the one who taught her how to sing, to master her craft and be at her full potential. Through her, she could make his own music take flight, so it could be known throughout the world. When so many saw him as a beast, she was the only one who ever saw the humanity within him.

Through her, he could finally live a normal life.

She was the only person who ever gave him kindness, even love.

But that love was retracted when she accepted someone else's marriage proposal.

And there he was again.

Alone, loveless, and empty.

The entire world was against him for all of his life ever since he could remember, all because of the scar on his face.

There was no hope in finding a place within her heart, no hope in ever achieving making his music known, no hope in ever finding a place in the world…

He placed the sheets of music into the fire. The flames danced as they incinerated the music. Ending the song was only the beginning. He glanced at the model of the Opera House and picked up her replica.

Tonight, it was all going to burn.

Song inspiration: Burn - from the musical 'Hamilton'
