On a frigid night in a decrepit mansion, the phantom once again comes to light. With poise and grace, he quietly creaks open the door to a room untouched by the living for decades. The entire room is blanketed in dust, save for a storage chest that has been meticulously cleaned over and over. The ephemeral man slowly brings himself to his knees in front of the chest and unlocks it, peering inside.

Within the chest is a collection of finely crafted cravats from days long past. The phantom had a certain affinity to these small accessories - he regarded them as a status symbol, a way to show the world how elegant and refined he was in his day-to-day life. He cherished them as if they were his own family, as he had none to speak of himself. As he grew his empire and accumulated more wealth, he soon not only had a cravat to match every jacket, but a different cravat for every day of the year. Nearly all of these were lost to the ages, however. Only a small portion of his once elaborate collection remains, but to him, it means more than anything else he ever had in his life.

In his prime, he met a man similar to himself - someone who also appreciated the fine things in life. The mysterious man arrived at a ball he was hosting and complimented the exquisite cravat the not-yet-phantom was wearing. The man arrived at another event, this time with a gift: a cravat sewn of the finest fabrics, colored with the richest of dyes. The then-living man was overtaken with joy, and couldn't thank his new acquaintance enough. Again and again, the gifter would attend elaborate events hosted by the giftee, each time gifting him with a fine new piece for his collection. It didn't take long for the not-yet-phantom to fall for this man, mistaking his charity for romance.

At the last party the phantom ever hosted in his life, he presented his charitable benefactor with a gift of his own - a diamond ring and his eternal love. The two embraced and kissed, and everyone at the party cheered wildly for what seemed to be a storybook romance come true. The newly-engaged man moved in that very night to enact his plan. The soon-to-be-phantom was sound asleep in bed next to his new lover, and thus didn't feel a thing as the blade plunged into his chest. His murderer cleaned up his mess, and the next morning announced that his fiance fell deathly ill suddenly and didn't make it through the night. The public mourned, but didn't bat an eye at the diabolical man inheriting everything his victim had in life.

The phantom could not pass on to the afterlife, for it could not believe he was so utterly betrayed by the man he loved. Even as he watched his former lover squander away the money and abandon the mansion to die a poor man, he couldn't let go of the happy moments the two shared. To this day, the phantom appears in his former home, and opens up the chest containing the cravats gifted to him by his murderer. He picks up each one, sometimes tying it around his neck, other times just feeling the fabric flow between his fingers. Soon, tears start running down his cheeks, and he screams out his agony to the night sky. No one dares to explore that mansion, but they say if you walk past it just before dawn, you can hear muffled sobs filled with a man's sorrow.
