[The Phantom of the Opera] Boundary Bridge

There was a long, embarrassing silence at the table.

Enid sighed softly.She was born with a gentle and tolerant character, so even though she used to conceive the words of God alone and died in depression, the princess in the eyes of others was always gentle and elegant.

The blond girl has a unique temperament that draws people to tell her heartfelt words, and this temperament has been enhanced by the purity of her heart during her two years of wandering life.But of course Enid never used this ability to slander anyone, even if she also had a very keen eye - only Eric.

This strange, rich, struggling and twisted soul in the darkness is stubbornly looking for the light of redemption, and desperately wants to put a coat of love on it.His ego is so strong, sharp and sensitive, painful and restless, that even the darkness or destruction of extinction is close to the sublime.It all made Enid think of herself—yes, they were so different, but they had so much in common.The same full of emotions, the same rich soul, the same uniqueness and determination, the only difference is that Enid would rather let the former princess die to keep this uniqueness, and Eric is annihilating himself for the satisfaction of approval.

The murder of her own soul was so cruel, Enid would not think she was qualified to speak for someone, but she really didn't want to see Eric... howling and roaring in the pain of struggling, and gradually disappearing.She knew that feeling all too well.

"Of course I sympathize with your misfortune," said Enid, with earnest eyes, a soft, clear voice, and a certain deep and beautiful emotion--that would not offend the person she sympathized with, because the object of her sympathy It is all suffering itself, "But Eric, you must know where your true self is hidden? Some people may not understand, but you can't talk to yourself forever, you will die because of loneliness. Yes, speaking and singing are your only languages—I discovered that when I saw you."

"Can't I learn a second language?" Eric asked rhetorically. "I can write scores and pieces that speak to my heart and soul as well. I can talk to people, play the violin, and socialize normally ——" His eyes suddenly darkened, "Or do you think that a monster like me has lost the ability to communicate with ordinary people?"

"No, Eric, why do you think so?" Enid said softly, "Some people are destined to only speak one language, and depriving them of this language is like depriving them of their |life|life| Light—didn't singing make you aware of your own strength, Eric? Didn't the fire that burst from your throat make you realize the unique loneliness and joy? When you lost it, didn't it Feeling great fear and infinite sadness? What if you hadn’t met me today? Would you return to that dark underground palace and continue to hit the wall with your head like a cornered animal? How could you tolerate it? Such a thing happened?"

However, Eric's emotions were so intense, his heart was like a volcano that had been suppressed for too long, spewing out countless poisonous slurries of despair.He had so, so many emotions to erupt throughout the day, and Enid couldn't help thinking about how many years of loneliness Eric had endured when he didn't expect it.What a backlog of emotions his soul had!

"Then you think according to the glorious saying in the world, the singing that represents the deep heart is more important than the superficial appearance? Yes, yes, generally speaking, people will sing the former, even I would say so ——I still think the former is more precious, but that is not what I want, Enid! Fate has been so unfair to me, and I am willing to sacrifice myself to change it, is it wrong? I have paid the price—paying my most Cherished singing, why can’t I live the life I want? Do I have to play the pitiful and humble role in the legend, and have to look for the so-called meaning with a crippled face? But life is not a script—— No one has written a perfect script for me. I've had enough! All I want now is to be recognized and accepted, to be found - I was never valued when I had my singing voice! Enid! I'm not an escape coward, but I always have the right to choose how I want to live, right? Yes, singing is about the heart, but I haven't lost it completely! I still have it myself, I can still hear it myself, so I don't have to Regrets, except that my bond with Christine was temporarily severed - but I'll get it back, and I'll build it up again, and better than before. So what's wrong with that?"

"You want to be seen—well, now you've got the good looks. But is it really you that people see? Eric. No, I'm certainly not accusing the looks of being false, of course you deserve— —Your soul deserves even better. But what people see is not the real you! The real and complete you are only hidden in your own singing! Maybe you will rejoice in their frivolous but heartfelt kindness at first No, but it doesn't take long for you to feel lonely, and I know it all too well! Tell me, Eric, would you rather talk to them or sing to me? Even if I'm talking to When you talk, I see your soul through the previous song! Our heart is a lake that is too wide. Once the flow of water is blocked, it will gradually stink and die. Generally speaking, a person Your mind will be connected with many tributaries - but that does not include you, your genius mind has only one living mouth, once the dam is built, you are completely blocked in it! When you listen Don't you feel pain and depression when you hear words like mine?"

"But I would rather stay underground with Christine forever. She is the light and all my hope! As long as I have her, life will naturally shine brightly—so what if I get stuck in the dam with her What's more, I can always give a little sound to the outside world through a small water pipe, I'm not dumb, I'm not disabled!"

"Love may be able to cover many sins, but that does not include what you have committed to yourself! What's more..."

"What's more, Enid? I haven't asked you for advice yet? Didn't you, Gao Shangru, also make an exchange with that witch, exchanging wealth and status for mermaid singing? I never interfered with your decision, and you Why are you accusing me? Are you the only one in the world who has the right to exchange and get what you want? Can I not have happiness? Or just because you gave up dirty money and I gave up my heart Singing, so you are nobler than me? We are no different—both cowards who cannot face a terrible fate and give it up to the last stand! Cowards!"

"But I'm not like you, Eric." Enid sighed, and her voice softened to a worried anxiety this time. "I'm not like you. You will definitely Regret it, and I won't."

"I won't regret it," Eric said firmly, and the two of them tacitly terminated the conversation.They understand each other's thoughts, and they may not agree with each other, but they must remember it in their hearts.A few minutes later, Eric spoke again, his voice much more polite and earnest.

"Then, may I take the liberty of inviting you to stay and live for a while? If it doesn't touch the curse."

"You have my permission." Enid took a long time to show a peaceful and gentle smile again.Eric is so much like her back then, only one thought it out and the other didn't - Enid is very aware of the emotions during the period just completed the exchange, the uncontrollable frustration, confusion and regret, even now She doesn't regret it, and she came out of that period at the beginning.She wanted to do what she could to help Eric through this period.

After she finished saying this, she didn't feel a sharp pain in her heart.Because it was so natural for her to stay and help a friend she had just met—Enid showed a smile of comfort, as calm as the morning sea breeze.Eric also showed a smile, a very natural smile, but because of this shallow naturalness, it seemed unusual.At this moment, they looked at each other in the sunshine through the screen window, as if they had known each other for a long time and had a long-lasting tacit understanding.

"Let's sing," Eric suggested, and Enid nodded with a smile.No matter who it is, they have been looking forward to this moment from the moment they met—exciting, and with a special heavy atmosphere that belongs to fate, like opening a mysterious book, or unfolding a book. A great adventure about the soul.They all smiled.

Moments later, the singing of the sea and the voice of angels sounded in this suburban villa.

The author has something to say: *This chapter is really well written, the two protagonists are whipping each other's hearts

*I think Eric is really civilized, although the words are fierce but there is no harsh metaphor for Christine in the musical (poor Ke).Currently, he is relatively restrained about Enid's bright temperament... Of course, he rebounded strongly in the later stage. 2333 is happy to hear it.
