You know what I think it is? Why this particular part cuts me like a knife?
“Why are you ill? What’s happened to you? I love you, Louis. Tell him I love him, Armand. I love you, Louis. Tell him, Armand! Tell him!”
It’s because this is Lestat trying to comfort Louis. This is Lestat, not knowing any details other than Louis has “injured himself”, trying to let Louis know that he’s loved.
Letting Louis hear Lestat’s undying love for him is of the utmost importance to Lestat, because it harkens back to the first time Lestat told Louis that he loved him under similar circumstances, only Lestat was there to prevent Louis from hurting himself by letting Louis know he was loved.
Lestat came to that church, hearing Louis’ thoughts and knowing he was suicidal. Lestat was telling Louis in that moment that he sees every piece of him. He sees the pieces of Louis that are awful and ugly. The pieces that Louis hates. However, they are all beautiful to Lestat, because they belong to Louis.
“I love you, Louis. You are loved.”
No matter what, in spite of everything, no matter how low Louis sinks or how wretched he becomes, Lestat just wants Louis to know that he sees, yet always loves him unconditionally and maybe, just maybe, Lestat hopes it’ll be the comfort and strength Louis needs to carry on and live for him.
And you? You go carry on with your living.

when is a monster not a monster? oh, when you love it.
