Summary
Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.
-
It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

Summary
“When I told you this city is my home–” Lestat starts. “I was being truthful. There’s no other place I could ever live but here.” The crooked smile on his lips turns a bit sadder. “This is where I met you.” He pauses, then says, “Where I lost you.”
“You didn’t–”
“I did.” There’s tenderness in the back of his gaze, so much of it Louis almost feels out of breath. “Do not soften the blow for me, Louis. We both know I don’t deserve it.”
Louis says nothing for a moment. The weight of the years they’ve shared presses against his chest, as if Lestat had stretched out his arm and his hand had come to rest right where his heart is furiously beating like a hummingbird. He wonders if they’ll ever make peace with it, or if the work of living is just this – to accept the burden of it, and carry it as best as they can.
Then, he sighs. “I’m here now.”
or: four times Louis comes back to New Orleans, and how he finds his way back to Lestat.

Summary
Lestat gnaws on his lip. “You needed me,” he says, and Louis would think he might sound a little happier about that, until he says, “To hurt yourself.”
A thousand acrid, sharp rebuttals rise to Louis’s lips. He swallows them. “Yes,” he says again.
Lestat looks at him. His eyes are heavy, full, but what they’re full of, Louis doesn’t know. “Would you, then?” he says eventually.
“What?”
“Show me. Kill me again.”

Summary
“I’m just worried. I don’t think you’re doing well”.
The anger was gone from Louis’ voice and that hurt even more. It made Lestat believe things could be different this time and they could go back to what they once had. He could almost hear Claudia laughing at his foolishness.
“It was a rough night, that’s all” Lestat replied, the fight also gone from him. “It happens. We are old creatures”.
“What was the nightmare about?” Louis sighed when silence was his only answer. “You won’t tell me, of course. Even after all this time, you will still keep your secrets”.
No, Lestat thought tiredly, I will never tell you because that would shatter the image of the monster you have in your head and replace it with something worse and more pathetic. Because you will leave me again, as you always do, and I can’t take it anymore.
“Goodbye, Louis” he said instead, closing the door behind him.
Or Lestat talks about Magnus during his interview and he can't keep avoiding his issues anymore. He is certainly going to try as hard as he can though.
