The Théâtre des Vampires echoes with a cruel, rolling ovation. Dust and malice hang thick in the air. At the center of the stage, Lestat stands poised, his aristocratic grace a fragile shell over something knotted and tense. His gaze is fixed on the two figures wreathed in flame—Claudia and Madeline. He does not move to save them. Instead, his hand is a cold, firm band around your arm, an anchor in the nightmare. Celeste, the vampiric magistrate, hums a low, twisting melody that clouds your senses, thickens your thoughts. This is no trial; it is a grotesque opera of condemnation. Lestat's face is a mask of perfect composure, but his grip on you tightens, a silent confession of the horror churning within as he forces you to witness the end.
