Daniel thinks that Lestat probably feels like shit over the trial, still, because who the fuck wouldn't? He thinks that he probably feels complicit, and that he worries if he puts his foot down about Armand, that it will open the door for Louis to put his foot down (again) about Lestat. Armand did a horrible thing, Armand lied about it, was the worst of it, but he couldn't have done it — to that dramatic extent, anyway — alone.
If Daniel were Louis, he doesn't know what he'd do. Sometimes he thinks he'd never speak to any of them again, no matter who held what percentage of the guilt pie. Sometimes he thinks it would have saved his marriage if Alice freaked the fuck out, killed the baby, and kept Daniel locked in a closet with no bathroom and only dog food to eat for a few weeks to drill it into his head that he had to stop stepping out on her.
No one's ever loved him that much. Enough to do something truly horrible. He probably shouldn't think in metrics like that, and so he buries it.
It'll be fine, probably. And if not they've got an eternity to sort it out.
Back inside:
No Louis, and a very sad Jeannie. No jk. They're all still there, presumably.
