[The Phantom of the Opera] Boundary Bridge

"I think I'm going to go."

When Enid leaned against the door frame and said these words, there was still a peaceful smile on her lips.She wore a white cloak, and her whole body was as pure as new snow.The hair is golden, the eyes are blue, but the rosy lips that were as delicate as petals have faded a bit.

Eric thought, how could she say such a sentence?How could she say such a terrible word so lightly?He couldn't believe the meaning revealed in the words, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face, and that look quickly turned into fear.Eric grabbed Enid's hands tremblingly almost immediately, and said in shock, "Don't go!"

He also knew that it was at this moment that he realized the violent emotion hidden deep in his heart, and it suddenly surged out at the moment when she said that she would leave soon.Enid's gentle and calm gaze could no longer soothe the beast in his heart, no, it just made the beast more restless, and even wanted to tear it apart... The beast asked angrily: How can you say you want to go?When you have domesticated me!

But Eric is between animal nature and divinity, neither of them can be completely honest, so naturally he can't understand the words of the beast.He just felt great fear, obeyed and instinctively grasped her wrist, and begged over and over again: "Enid, don't go."

Until now he was finally able to admit his inner attachment to her, and she rescued him from his spiritual loneliness, and several months of being together had made him have a deep affection for her.Eric is not only attached to Enid's singing, but also to Enid herself.Although sometimes he hated her words, he had to admit that perhaps no one in this world understood him better than her.Similar but different experiences, close and separated hearts, who else can meet such conditions?What's more, she herself, herself...

Enid meant a very different thing to him than Kristen.

Enid understood him completely, she saw through his vanity and inferiority, cowardice and cruelty.He is self-righteous, cruel and despicable.Eric was terrified of such an Enid—who could not be terrified of such a firm, tender, holy gaze upon the soul?He couldn't help but run away, he was afraid of this thorough understanding and he felt ashamed.

Gentle and firm, Enid is nothing like Christine.If Christian Daye is an angel without suffering, then Enid is a pilgrim who is still peaceful and persistent after suffering.But she is not a believer in God, she is always loyal to her heart.And what about Eric?While cursing God, he crawled on the ground hunched over, reaching out to the sky, begging for some kind of divine response to suffering.He fought his fate to the death, scarred and prepared for a terrible death.

But he fell in love with that pure angel.

Eric stared at Enid's peaceful face speechlessly, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to tear this tranquility.But his heart is so violent, but his eyes are clearly filled with prayers: Can you really not stay?

Enid understood this sentence, she smiled and said to him: "People who meet will meet again."

This sentence is for Eric, but also for himself.Enid had never completely violated the shackles of the oath before, but she estimated from the temptations she had had before, from coughing up blood for the first time to dying of weakness, it took about half a year.

She gazed at Eric quietly and sadly, and there was no love for her in that face, which she knew very well.He cannot complete her poems, just as she cannot forever weave safe dreams for him.Sooner or later, they will be separated, and Eric must accept the changed himself and the loneliness of singing that no one has heard for decades.As for Enid, she either forgot about the relationship, or walked on with a broken heart.Sooner or later it would kill her.

But she can't regret it, transitioning from the suffocating love of the duke's mansion to two years of freedom, and then the solitary freedom to come to the depths of this most desperate love, in the final analysis, it is she who is chasing her own heart.Enid never regretted it, she just...

The blond girl smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not in such a hurry to leave."

Eric looked a little better when he heard this sentence.Immediately he asked, "So you're going to be in Daughter of the Sea? I mean—at least the first scene."

When he said these words, there was an unspeakable gloom and irritability in his heart.The possessive desire that he loathed unceasingly occupied his heart again—it was the habit of a poor ghost who wanted to grab everything into his arms when he was wandering with the gypsies. The same is true for people who have feelings, whether it is friendship or love.He thought he could see clearly that this possessive desire came from the bad roots in his spoiled temperament, and he refused to allow anything that had been assigned to him to go away, but he never imagined that there was something hidden in that dark and deep emotion. An unspeakable longing.

Enid had acted calm and holy before, and he was still able to suppress the clamoring darkness in his heart.But when she personally told the fact that she will leave soon, who can imprison the evil thoughts raging in Eric's heart?He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

But how could he want to lose her?Eric stood still, thinking about the days when no one would listen to him sing.She listened to his sorrow and saw through his confusion. He couldn't imagine losing her at all. These days he has regarded her existence as a matter of course and indispensable.But what he is afraid of is not just that no one will be able to hear the heartfelt words in his singing.

He was even more afraid that no one would listen to his silence.

This kind of deep and broad mutual understanding is not enough for outsiders to understand. Even thinking of the wonderful Christine, Eric couldn't help but tremble, thinking worriedly, she can, or she is willing to get close to his true soul ?

It belongs to both the Angel of Music and the Phantom of the Opera.

Finally, he heard her say with a soft, soft sigh, "I will." Then there was a long silence.After a long time, Eric said to her hoarsely, "Good night."

Enid also said: "Good night." Her expression was peaceful and contemplative again.
