    Summary

    In the dream, Armand is standing in the corner, crying. He holds the backs of his own arms. He says, very clearly, childlike in his plaintiveness, "Nobody ever comes looking for me."

    The first time Louis has the dream is also the first time that he realizes he could feel guilty about Armand, if he wanted to. Ten more dreams before he decides that he might. Twenty more before he knows that he does.

    Summary

    “Oi, Molloy!” a sketchy-looking guy with a camera says, a little too loudly for a gallery opening — obviously a paparazzi. “Nice shirt!”

    “Aww, thanks, Schneider,” says Dad with absolutely toxic politeness that suggests he and the guy have butted heads before, which, yeah, that tracks with Dad’s mission to make everyone in his profession hate him.

    He holds his leather jacket open for a photo, and yup, the shirt says EAT THE RICH in red, slightly shimmering letters. Cute.

    “Nice.” The pap snaps some pics. “So how does that square with your billionaire — sorry, multi-millionaire — boytoy over there?”

    “One, I’m the boytoy here, and two, you should have seen what I did to him earlier today.”

    Okay, Lauren’s not hungry any more. Jesus Christ, Dad.

     

    or: Daniel's daughters are invited to Armand's latest gallery opening. Molloy family shenanigans and awkwardness ensue.

    Summary

    [UPDATED AND COMPLETE!]

    “There were times in my life when I wondered whether I’d been here at all. Whether it was something I made up— something Marius made up. He took me back, once, as a customer. I didn’t recognize anyone.”
    Daniel leans back against the cushions, runs a hand over the stubble along his jaw. “It happened, Armand. It fucking happened.”
    “Yes.”
    “And you don’t think it stuck around? You don’t think it lingered?”

    [Post-interview, Armand and Daniel go through the files assembled by the Talamasca on Armand's past.]
