Daniel pokes his head into Louis’ mind, a few months before he learned of the traitorous publication of Interview with the Vampire. It’s a regularly-scheduled, I’m really worried about you, man pop-in, with vampiric life updates to follow.
I, uh, hate to break out my DSM-V on you again, but are you anorexic, Louis?
Daniel reaches out telepathically to Louis and sets off an odyssey of recollection about a hundred years of self-denial. (Featuring a very helpful suggestion from Armand that Louis go to a 12-Step Meeting.)
 (post-Dubai, pre-s3, with flashbacks in the San Francisco, France, Rue Royale, and Human Louis eras. Will update tags as we go!)
