A fair bit of it is probably about Louis, even though Armand did not specifically say so. Daniel is hyper-aware of the fact that Louis had, in their stolen memories, made the survival of a junkie journalist a condition of their companionship. Cynicism (and a lot of logic) says this is purely about Armand trying to set up a return, and that Daniel is coincidental; he could be anyone. A 500 year old having a panicked tantrum in slow motion.
(Armand had explained himself, in bits and pieces, concerning the trial, but Daniel doesn't know how to feel about any of that. Maybe he'll relate those pieces to Louis sometime, but it feels like taking an axe to trauma, and so, maybe he won't.)
He considers saying something like What would be easy is clear guidance, but it feels pedantic. Daniel hadn't had a choice in transforming, but he has choices now. He should take the luxury while he has it.
"Do they have to die? Is it... am I not going to be able to stop? Are they going to be fucked up forever even if I do?"
