[The Phantom of the Opera] Boundary Bridge

"I think," Enid thought for a moment, and then replied tenderly, "I can hear your singing, probably because I have indeed died before, and after the exchange, the mermaid's singing gave me another Because of this peculiarity—you know, she can’t just stuff her singing down my throat out of thin air, she must have changed her physique as a medium accordingly.”

"However," Eric's heart has not yet relaxed, and Enid's words have changed.With gentle but unnegligible strength, the girl with blond hair and blue eyes said slowly, "As for your decision... I think, I do have some different opinions."

She sighed regretfully: "You shouldn't exchange your singing voice for your appearance."

At that moment, Eric only felt that the blood all over his body was frozen in his blood vessels, and there was a roar in his ears.He couldn't hear, he couldn't think, his brain was in turmoil—and then, the frozen blood vessels burst open, cold blood poured back into his heart, and something hummed.His face was burning red, unprecedented panic and anger hit his heart, even Eric himself didn't know why he was so angry - he stood up all of a sudden, and argued with a loud voice:

"You said that to me, so why? Whether it is singing or appearance, it is my own thing. I choose to abandon one to fulfill the other, and it is also my own business. Why do you say that I did something wrong? What?" Later, because his emotions were getting more and more agitated, he was almost talking nonsense.

"No, Eric—calm down." Enid stood up as well, and she looked at Eric with a look of concern and concern—to his humiliation.The blond girl stretched out her small white hands to appease the man in front of him, but was slapped away by the man. "Go away!" Eric yelled, like some kind of wounded beast.

Enid stopped talking then, she just stood there watching him silently.After a while, when she felt Eric's mood calmed down a little, she spoke:

"You are so afraid of failure, and you are not willing to leave yourself a way out. Generally speaking, you will regret it."

Eric also calmed down after hearing this sentence, and he said: "But I have reached the point where I have put all my eggs in one basket. Even without this deal, I will try my best to save my love—"

"Use your singing voice? That should be what suits you best."

"But you don't understand at all, Christine, she—"

"Are you really doing it for your own love?" Enid asked suddenly, and Eric couldn't help being stunned: "What?"

"Are you really doing it for your own love?" The blond girl continued to ask, her eyes clear.She pointedly pointed out: "If you are really for that girl, for Christine, why haven't you gone in front of her and showed your new face? You are not desperate and desperate to choose to deprive the world of hearing for her." The right to the voice of an angel? Then why do I see you walking down the streets of Paris in a daze, and now you come to me for affirmation?"

Eric felt himself irritated.

"Of course I am for Christine, for my love!" he roared, revealing the savage and violent part of his character.At this moment, he couldn't feel at all that what was in front of him was a strange girl he had only known for a day, and what stood in front of him was everything that prevented him and opposed him being with Christine, whether it was denying him, digging deep into the truth behind his decision. Everything that is weak and confused is the ultimate enemy - a sum.He vehemently complained:

"I love her! Do you understand that? Love is trepidation, deliberation, and wanting to show her the best! I seek affirmation, but it's just to strengthen my confidence in her presence! Maybe I'm looking forward to others Come and treat me kindly—but that’s not a ten-thousandth of Christine’s love! My love for Christine is enough for me to make such a great sacrifice, how dare you deny my love!”

"People's first reaction is not deceiving." Enid murmured, and Eric's violent words just exposed a certain kind of weakness in his heart-and isolation.But she sighed and didn't embarrass the poor man who was caught in her own emotions any more.

"I don't deny your love," she said, "and I don't think it's shameful to seek approval from others, lovers or the world. No singer needs an audience, and no one does not There is a need to speak and to be heard, to live in the world - but if you are going to speak in the language of God, you can't expect everyone to understand it."

"How can people understand you when you speak in the language of God?" Enid repeated quietly, as if recalling something from the past, her expression gradually became silent.The blond girl smiled reluctantly and returned to the previous topic.She sighed softly: "Besides, Eric, love cannot be threatened by an oath."

"Love cannot be threatened by an oath—you make it too heavy, and place all your hopes on it, which will only hurt love itself."

The author has something to say: * A small paragraph has been deleted from the main text, "I am Enid, and I am also Ariel. Part of her is dead, and the other part of her lives in my body in the form of singing, spirit and even chains Just as a part of me chooses to die." That's how Enid can hear Eric singing.But I feel that putting it in the main text will cause confusion to everyone's perception of the heroine's identity, so I put it in something to say as a supplement.

*In general, Enid is still her own personality, but she was influenced by Ariel when she accepted the singing (freedom; abandoning the original life to pursue what she wants; even love).What Ariel left behind is not only the shackles, but also some blessings for the loved ones - which will lead to the only he branch of this article.

*The contradiction between divine language and human language is precisely the reason why the two protagonists give up and run away.Enid never gave up her "divine language" from the beginning to the end. This is the reason why she appears so gentle and firm, and it is also the reason why she thinks Eric will regret it in the future.
