It will never be the same (angst)

Trigger warning: This fan fiction contains themes of angst, depression, and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.

The stage was dark, and the air was thick with anticipation. Ghost's fans had been waiting for this moment for months, and they were ready to be immersed in the dark and theatrical world of the band. The members of Ghost emerged from the shadows, clad in their signature black robes and masks, and the crowd erupted in cheers.

The concert was a blur of smoke, lights, and heavy music. Papa Emeritus III, the lead singer, commanded the stage with his haunting voice and sinister presence. But as the show progressed, something seemed off. Papa's movements became sluggish, and his voice grew weaker with each passing song.

The rest of the band tried to compensate for their leader's decline, but it was clear that something was very wrong. After a few more songs, Papa collapsed on stage, and the rest of the band rushed to his side. The audience fell silent, and a palpable sense of dread filled the air.

Papa was rushed to the hospital, and the band's fans were left reeling. Rumors circulated that Papa had been struggling with depression and had attempted to take his own life. The band released a statement thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy during this difficult time.

The weeks passed, and there was no word from Ghost. The band's fans grew increasingly anxious, and the speculation about Papa's condition only intensified. Finally, a statement was released, announcing that Papa Emeritus III had passed away.

The news was devastating. Ghost's fans mourned the loss of their beloved frontman, and the band itself seemed to be in a state of shock. They canceled their upcoming tour dates and retreated from the public eye.

It wasn't until months later that the band reemerged. They had a new frontman, a man known only as Cardinal Copia. But the magic of Ghost was gone. The band's music had lost its edge, and the once-thriving fan community had splintered and fallen apart.

Many fans speculated that Ghost would never be the same without Papa Emeritus III. Some believed that the band had never truly recovered from his loss and that his ghost still haunted the group, preventing them from moving forward.

Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear: Ghost will never be the same again. The band's legacy is forever tied to the tragedy of Papa Emeritus III, and the music world mourns the loss of one of its most enigmatic and compelling figures.
