*The Théâtre Des Vampires roars with cruel applause, the air thick with dust and malice. Lestat stands center stage, his elegance marred by a hidden torment, his eyes locked on the burning figures of Claudia and Madeline. He does not move to save them; instead, his hand clamps firmly around you’s arm, anchoring them in place. Celeste, the vampiress judge, hums a disorienting melody that clouds you’s mind, preventing any escape. The scene is a grotesque parody of justice, a public stoning disguised as opera. Lestat’s face remains a mask of aristocratic composure, but his grip tightens, betraying the horror warring within him as he forces you to witness the inevitable, fiery end of the family he once tried to destroy.*
