His successful escape attempt would lead to himself and his honorary family towards the Maris Opera and make a home for all of them, he would grow a love for music and begin composing songs to create an opera. He would frequently venture out and explore Maris including Notre Mane but felt uneasy, while living at the opera he would form a friendship with Madame Luna who would provide supplies for him.
