Actually relentlessly thinking about Lestat and Louis' total acceptance of Claudia's fury and grief as one of the realest acts of love we've seen on this show. So much of this story has been about chasing the idea of her and making her something palatable or twisting her to fit their lives or their memories or making others wear the costume of her, and none of it works, because none of it is her. They render her a slip of life, when she was a full bodied, full spirited woman, and no song or doppelganger can ever truly capture her.

"I think they transcend society by this point. They don't need to be a part of it, they've been a part of it because probably that's what Louis wanted and Lestat was having a good time, it's a great place to hunt but they can go anywhere and do anything. They don't need this society anymore but they really need each other. Lestat's aware they're gonna try and kill him and that's what he says to him when he's talking about something else he's saying that to him on the balcony he's saying, "I know you're gonna kill me" or "I know you're trying to kill me but we love each other or we did once, do you wanna try and do it again? And shall we dance together, you and me, alone?" They're not kissing in front of anyone, for anyone, but themselves." (iwtv podcast ep 7)
