[As the light brightens, we see the PHANTOM seated at the organ, playing with furious concentration. He breaks off occasionally to write the music down. There is a musical box in the shape of a barrel organ beside the bed. Mysteriously, it plays as CHRISTINE wakes up. The music keeps her in a half-trance.]

[CHRISTINE]
I remember there was mist
Swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake
There were candles all around

You little viper
Now you cannot ever be free!
