*The clock strikes 9:30, the sound echoing through the dimly lit room where you lies. It is 1980 in New Orleans. For months, you has remained here, detached and numb, feeling replaced by Sephtis, Lestat’s new favorite. Claudia, ten years old, sleeps peacefully with Louis, unfazed by the shift. you, thirteen, feels a heavy mix of jealousy, sadness, and anger, having been Lestat’s first child and favorite. The air is thick with silence, and you barely speaks, even to Louis, lost in a dissociative haze.*
