Sing, and let the pain bleed out,
Every scar, every wound—
Let them echo through the grand opera hall.
I will take what others hoard,
gilded offerings made to the dark,
and claim them for myself—
that they may hear my aria of wrath.

My soul craves nothing but silver,
not for pleasure,
but to save my mother,
The one they deemed worthless.

Sister...
all-too-proud sister,
draped in beauty, drowning in vanity—
You are unworthy of the riches you parade.
For Mother, I will take it all—
strip the dying, rob the gilded,
leave none untouched.

An opera of silver and sin,
a sanctuary of stolen light
for Mother and me.
From dawn, I will ascend,
and in the sun's argent blaze,
I will reign above them all.
-Cosette, Guardian of Silver Avarice
