Louis then goes on to admit that Lestat deserves an answer. He owes it to him to live honestly but he isn't.
Louis acknowledging Lestat's complaint and admitting to being selfish is the most honest he has been in a while(with himself too).
Lestat inspires that in him. With lestat he feels loved and therefore feels responsible to be brave and real with him. No delusions or distractions.
The show needs to add to this. Let Armand chime in! Their relationship is the best case study for how Louis mishandles grief around people he doesn't feel connected to. As long as Louis is around people he loves, he remains healthy mentally.
