The mask of The Phantom of the Opera concealed a horrific visage.
In the play, when the female protagonist Christine first saw it, she was so scared that she cried incessantly, her beautiful dream shattered on the spot.
Any slight possibility with The Phantom of the Opera, probably also broke off at that moment.
Modern people judge by appearance, just as ancient people did; that's simply how it is.
Just like Christine in the play, Ayakoji Chiyoko took advantage of Kagura Hikaru's inattentiveness and abruptly lifted the mask.
Unlike the 2004 film version, which only covered a quarter of the face with a deformity, Kagura Hikaru painted half of his face with an ugly shape; even the clean half couldn't really be called nice, handsome but gloomy, like a classic vampire not 'ruined' by Twilight City.
