Maverick finally arrives at the beach. The Siren who deceived him sits on the rocks. She turns around, smiling amidst the fragmented waves. His bloodline that spanned 100 years has met its end, its family crest stained with the blood of loved ones. The Siren is responsible. He cherished her, yet she dug out their hearts with her own hands.

He wades through the shallow water and climbs onto the rocks. His hands are marred with scars. These bloody hands had once cradled the girl's face, gently caressing her exquisitely sculpted features. But her love is a web meticulously woven with lies.

The seawater wets Maverick's clothes as he slowly opens his mouth, singing a melodious love song to his former lover. It is the song she once taught him, a siren's ballad. His voice fluctuates from deep below the waves to soaring high above the skies, from sunset to moonrise, from high tide to low tide. He sings with such passion that even the Siren is captivated by his enchanting voice.

Step by step, he approaches her, caressing the bloodstains on her face that have yet to be washed away. He embraces her, whispering tenderly in her ear as he reveals the hidden dagger concealed in his sleeve. He plunges it into her heart when the song reaches its climax.

Crimson curtains descend like a cascade of blood, the lingering echoes of the ballad resonating within the vast opera house. Onstage, the man portraying Maverick gracefully bows, his dim eyes hidden behind a mask.

Only then does the audience awaken from the enchanting melody, erupting into thunderous applause.

"He will surely be the rising star of the opera world, a prodigy..."

"I've already come up with the headline! Let's call it Resurgence of the Siren's Voice: Royal Opera House 10th Anniversary Performance!"

Just as everyone showers him with endless praise, a piercing scream seems to shatter the glass dome of the building, like claws tearing through a magnificent robe.

"Mr. Fallon... is... He's dead!"
