    Summary

    “And then he held my head.”

    Kate’s face tightened. “Held it how?”

    Daniel lifted one shoulder.

    “Just—”

    Daniel could remember the exact pressure better than he could remember whole hours around it.

    “Through my hair. Held the back of my head,” Daniel murmured.

    He could hear himself drifting away from testimony. The clean edges of fact had begun dissolving into sensation, each sentence pulling him a little farther from something he was reporting and a little closer to something he was sitting inside again.

    “He said he was the quiet I’d been longing for.”

    Alice’s hand twitched in her lap.

    The frightening part was how badly, by then, Daniel wanted the quiet once it was offered.

    “I like it,” Daniel said.

    Alice’s fingers went still against his sleeve.

    Daniel’s eyes remained lowered. “The quiet.”

    Daniel Molloy has a perfectly reasonable explanation for every terrible decision he has ever made.

    His daughters are less interested in the explanation than the part where he was their father.

    Or: Daniel Molloy discovers being somebody’s good boy does not make him a good father.

    Summary

    "Who am I, Daniel? What am I? I— I don't know. I don't know who I am." His words pick up a panicked edge. The lives he's lived — Arun, Amadeo, Armand — they all feel separate. Different from who he is standing in a parking garage having a panic attack in the middle of a cold November afternoon. "Am I… am I my history? Am I always to be the… the frightened boy being pressed into bed, after bed, after bed? Who am I, Daniel?"

    Daniel looks about as lost as he feels. "I don't know," he says and the answer almost sends Armand over the literal edge but Daniel continues. "But we can talk about it, Armand. We've got… eternity to figure that out."

    "Not if the Great Conversion kills us all," he says

    -- Post the events from the vampire Lestat, Daniel and Armand figure their new found companionship out while exploring their past together

    Summary

    Daniel Molloy is losing his mind. There's no other explanation for the near-constant feeling of being followed, the paranoia, and the ever-present flashbacks to an interview he has no evidence of ever conducting. Unless he really is being stalked by some sort of supernatural entity.
