Maybe if he had, if he had done what he should have done in Dubai, Daniel could have been spared a horror show of a transformation. Lestat would have been spared the agony of the past twenty-four hours. Louis had held back.
(Why? He has turned it over and over. Hard to look at the moment now, to touch it remembering how angry he had been, how it had felt like hearing his life breaking apart in the background of those moments while he looked down at Armand, covered in dust.)
Lestat is on the floor. Daniel is in the way.
Louis has done a million terrible things to Daniel, but he won't hit him now. Will consider the window if he has to, pay the fine for shattered glass.
"Don't ask that," a sentiment split between them, Lestat speaking French from the ground, Daniel with his hands up. They are both appealing, a united front, and Louis feels their shared fear like a vise tightening around his chest. Asserts still, "I get to decide, after all this."
