Summary
Armand's feelings upon dreams have always been this: what story is the hidden part of you shouting into your ear? Fears and desires often make themselves known most freely when cloaked in some lurid disguise. This was the old premise of the Théâtre des Vampires: we, the monsters lurking in the shadows of your minds, show you to yourselves.
If Daniel is the monster of his heart, what story is he trying to tell himself?
As Louis' interview unfolds, Armand finds himself dreaming of past disaster, of imagined catastrophe and of a love affair he cannot remember —and finds himself asking questions he may not want answered.

Summary
“I’m not trying to clean up any mess,” says Louis, so sincerely that Daniel almost believes him. “Frankly, you’ve done better than anyone could have been expected to, under the circumstances or otherwise. I’m offering because I care for you, Daniel, and because you should have had more support from the beginning, and this is an unfair way for anyone to enter into undeath.” And, he adds, in a thought hardly louder than a whisper, if it should have been me, then at least let me — help out, now. I can’t undo the past. But I can do this.
“I don’t want to be your — your charity case,” says Daniel, out loud. I don’t need your fucking pity.
Louis looks at him for a long moment. Daniel, if you think pity is what I am feeling for you, maybe you do need my help after all.

Summary
Innocent is looking out of the window as though he can see something more there than the blackness of a howling winter night. “I find myself wishing for his guidance.”
“If it is of any comfort,” Aldo tries, “He trusted Thomas to steer the Church through the Conclave. He was sure of his integrity like he was of no one else’s here. And Thomas has complete faith in you. You can be sure of his counsel.”
“I know I can. He’s been a blessing.” At the mention of Thomas, Innocent had brightened, but there is something searching in his expression when he looks back at Aldo, like he hadn’t quite gotten the answer he wanted.
Or: Aldo and Vincent discover that they have some things in common.

Summary
”What’s the point of painting someone like this?”
“What do you mean, beloved?”
”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.”
“And? What is wrong with that?”
“It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.”
Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine.
”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.”
Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking.

Daniel and Armand, John Singer Sargent, museum visits, companionship, and talking through metaphors.

Summary
After Armand turned him and fled, Daniel stole some of his stuff from the Dubai penthouse.
Two years later, having found Armand and been disturbed by the state of him, Daniel follows up on those leads.
During the red-eye to Venice he dreamed. He dreamed of Armand’s back, and of his shadow. The shadow lay long and dark behind him. Armand was walking away from him but not getting any farther, even though Daniel was not moving. This was the side of himself that Armand could not see. Daniel saw it, but he couldn’t understand it. He tried to catch up but could get no closer. He tried to call Armand’s name and couldn’t. Turn around! he wanted to shout. Look at me! And then suddenly Armand did. First he was in profile, perpendicular to him, and Daniel was afraid. I didn’t mean it, he tried to say—I didn’t mean it, I didn’t want to hurt you, I’m sorry. Then Armand was facing him, and touched him with his eyes.
