Chapter 1

The Phantom returns to his old home with the hopes of burning it down. Upon his arrival, he finds mourners, lamenting the death of a righteous woman, Madeleine Destler. He turns to an old house servant, Marie Perrault, asking to have a moment alone with his mother's corpse. All he ever wanted was to kiss his mother's cheek, however, a young raven-haired woman refuses to leave his mother's side.
