"It's over now, the music of the-" Oh, wait, we're getting word that it's actually going to be over now...in about three months, once Rik pays back the money, does his Oprah interview with the Persian, and sets up his last will and testament with his ex-situationship, Christine Daae. We meet up one last time with Rik, the Persian, and Gaston Leroux to talk about Rik's rich backstory, the serial killer theory, and get emo about the Dark Stories of the North™ in our LAST episode of this thrilling book!
