Jacob: Oh yeah, Louis is struggling. It's hard because the bulk of Louis's story is under wraps. And I think that's good because, what we do with it is surprising. But you know when you find a thing, like you just started yoga, or something that can keep you grounded in some way, and you keep that consistent, and keep it measured and regulated, that's amazing. But I think that, to some extent--because the interview was only 10 or 11 days--he found all these things about himself, and come to these conclusions, he's almost deliriously decided that 'I'm One now, I've found the thing' and almost overdosed on hope. So I always thought of him like, he found a purpose, but some of the scaffolding underneath the purpose isn't like... all there. And he's kind of gone the wrong way about putting a neat bow on his story. And it gets really unhealthy. There's some really uncomfortable stuff this season. [And that's oddly very human. So many of us try to present that way, but in reality something is bubbling under that isn't perfect. But we don't always want to address that or show that] Yeah. I also don't want to put a damper on self improvement, but you do see it in life that, "I've done all these things to better myself, I've come to terms with myself." But they don't do the work to address how the other version of themselves may have affected other people whom they love. Some people I'm like, that person was trash that person was creating a bad energy in your life, but you have to check in on people too... that was something with Louis that like, he really hurt Lestat in the book. Human beings aren't neat, and that means vampires are definitely not neat.

“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”
