Louis is so intertwined with Claudia, he did not realize that his “companion for myself now” needed to apply to her too. Not just his romantic relationships, not just those still alive. He still doesn’t even think of them as two people. “Companion for myself” only works if you actually have a “self”.
God, he’s still carrying her. Him dragging her charred body across the floorboards. All this time, decades after she died, a century since she was turned, and he’s still dragging her.
