The giant space is empty, quiet. Erik sits on the edge of his organ, shaken and upset. Y/n stands before him, holding his hand. They are in the middle of a heart-to- heart. Erik is utterly devastated from what he heard from his student, Christine Daaé. He brought her to his lair so she could finally meet the voice that has been coaching her since she was seven.

During her time in his lair she ripped off his mask and since then she has not returned nor even acknowledged her tutor. In fact she has become engaged to the Vicomte De Changy and has spoken of her time with Erik. Her choice of words sent Erik into a spiral of self hatred. The words 'monster' and 'evil' and 'hideous' echoed constantly in his mind, causing him to distance himself from his beloved, Y/n.

"You can't listen her. People like her are hateful and ignorant." Y/n tries to touch his face, but he pulls away, nervous. "Don't...Please... We shouldn't even be together." Erik turns away. "Why not? What's wrong with us being together?" Y/n asks, shocked.

He smiles sadly -- the question seems naive, quixotic. "It is dangerous." Erik utters. "Then let us live dangerously. I won't let people like Christine dictate how we live." Y/n declares. "It's not just her. Look at the world... Any time I step outside this building..." Erik growls. "Oh, damn the world! If it is made up of fools, that is their problem, not yours!" Y/n shouts, surprising Erik.

He looks at her, heart melting. She leans in to kiss him. Erik leans to kiss her, then pulls away -- sad and scared. She sees his unhappy reluctance -- she must convince him.

"You know I want you,
It's not a secret I try to hide,
I know you want me,
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied.

You claim it's not in the cards,
And fate is pullin' you miles away,
And out of reach from me.

But you're here in my heart,
So who can stop me if I decide,
That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine,
Nothing could keep us apart,
You'd be the one I was meant to find.

It's up to you, and it's up to me,
No one can say what we get to be,
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours,
Tonight."

"You think it's easy?
You think I don't wanna run to you,
But there are mountains,
And there are doors that we can't walk through.

I know you're wondering why because we're able to be,
Just you and me within these walls,
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see,
That it was hopeless after all.

No one can rewrite the stars!
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart,
And I'm not the one you were meant to find.

It's not up to you,
It's not up to me,
When everyone tells us what we can be.

How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours,
Tonight."

All I want is to fly with you,
All I want is to fall with you,
So just give me all of you."

"It feels impossible!"

"It's not impossible!"

"Is it impossible?"

"Say that it's possible!

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart,
Cause you are the one,
I was meant to find.

It's up to you,
And it's up to me,
No one can say what we get to be,
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours."

"You know I want you,
It's not a secret I try to hide,
But I can't have you,
We're bound to break and,
My hands are tied."

Erik goes to walk off but a delicate hand grabs his wrist.

"However big,
However small,
Let me be part of it all,
Share you're dreams with me."

This is Y/n's last chance. Can she convince him?

"Every night I lie in bed,
The brightest colours fill my head,
A million dreams are keeping me awake."

"A million dreams, a million dreams!"

"I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see,
A million dreams is all it's gonna take,
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make,
For the world we're gonna make."

Erik and Y/n rest their foreheads against each other and smile softly at each other. "Together, forever." Y/n whispers.
