Queen of the Damned

Jacob Anderson & Delainey Hayles as LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC & REGINA

Claudia: Did Nicky kill himself like your maker, Magnus? Or did you kill him like you did Antoinette, and how you tried to do with Louis? Lestat: Nicky passed on after he and I parted ways. It took me over a century to try again.

Louis: Armand taught Lestat the Mind Gift. And a week later, Lestat was gone. [...] Louis: When he went to open the theater the next night, He was met by the lawyer, Pierre Roget 1. Armand: Waiting for me with a trunk full of cash and instructions to cover the theater's costs in perpetuity. Louis: He abandoned Nicky. He abandoned Armand. He abandoned the coven. Lestat is, was, and will always be, for Lestat.

Lestat: I told Nicky that I loved him… From the first seconds I saw him in Paris. That I was drunk with his love. I was engulfed by it. Your maker would tell you I was being kind, but… In the moment, the words were true. I think. I remember the light. Fireplace reflecting golden onto his face and his bare arms. But I would not look at the wound. I could not. I, um… I couldn't do it. But I watched… As Armand pushed him into the fire and made sure he stayed there with a poker in his chest. Nicky had a bemused look on his face as he burned. His mouth formed into a… a circle. And he made only one sound. Ohhhhhhhh. As though he knew that in death, it was nothingness.

Three versions of Nicky's death.
