Cool.

(Editor's note, 'cool' is sarcasm.)

The book, if Lestat recalls, had some commentary about Armand's rendering of that sketch. The writer reflected that of all the times one vampire or the other had accused Lestat of lying, this was noticeably spared; Mr Molloy had even directly challenged the vampire Armand on the subject of Lestat's transformation, and the creature had merely dismissed it. No commentary, no denial, and even the belittling had been minor, merely a bridge to move on. Interesting, dear readers.

And it tells Daniel: full horror, a thousand times worse than Louis knows.

"Mm. He said he'd give me a century. And then he didn't."

Timed right around when Louis started yelling out into the night. You know. Because it's not about Daniel. It's about the man who prompted all these threads to be woven together, the man Lestat crossed and ocean to fight for even after being nearly murdered by him, the man who prompted a trial born of nightmares and who burned it down. Daniel is just a bright young reporter with a point of view, writing it down.

But—

"You still wanted that? Even though you only knew it through Magnus?"
