   Summary

   Louis isn’t sure what possesses him to say it and he regrets it bitterly after, but the words tumble from him and he cannot help it.

    

   "Don’t drink from the twins."

    

   Or: Claudia dies the night of Mardi Gras in Lestat’s stead. Inevitably, it ends in misery for everyone involved.
