The Phantom of the Opera

After Kristina took off Eric's mask, he was angry at her for a long time and locked her in the basement for a long time, but when she came out of her room and watched him play the organ, she felt sorry for him and during the conversation she called him a man and asked him to be next to her without a mask. After that, he locked her up for 14 long days and asked her never to leave him, calling him her angel, but Kristina understood that she would not last long and asked Eric to let her go into the air and reluctantly he agrees, but says that he should come back and pick her up in a few days. During this time, she was even able to talk to Raoul again, and Eric saw it and immediately took her away. Eric was again making her feel guilty that she had abandoned him, that she was tormenting poor Eric, and that he had turned from a plaintive voice to screams. — You want me to die, don't you, Kristina?! Did he suffer because of you?! You want me to disappear! Frightened, Kristina, in order to calm him down, takes his mutilated face in her hands and brings it closer to herself. Her warm hands rested on his cold, disfigured face. Surprise turned to delight at her touch.

Eric was born into a family of technicians in Rouen. His father was a talented mason, and Eric inherited his abilities. However, due to his deformities, his parents sold him to a circus of freaks without giving him a name. There, he was nicknamed "the walking corpse" and treated like an animal. Despite his many talents, he was only seen as a monster in the circus. Later, Eric was purchased by the Persian government, which needed engineers during the war. There, he met Khatim, a manager who became his friend and gave him a name. In Persia, Eric designed weapons, but the country lost the war. The Shah decided to eliminate the engineers to prevent them from revealing their secrets to the enemy. Khatim saved Eric by convincing the Shah of his value. Eric became a court engineer and a jester. The Shah was cruel and forced Eric to create torture devices. At first, Eric suffered, but over time, he became accustomed to the cruelty and even began to enjoy it. One day, the Shah ordered the creation of a mirror room, where the victims died in agony, and Eric had to watch. Hatem, wanting to save his friend, lies to the Shah that Eric is a spy. The Shah orders Eric's execution, but Hatem secretly helps him escape to Turkey, faking his death. Later, Eric moves to France and settles in the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera.
