But it was not until a few nights later, when I watched a man pull a knife out of his walking stick, and press the blade to his brother’s breast bone, that I said to myself, Lestat unpack your trunks. You’re home.
Having a bust of Roman Emperor Caracalla in the background during this scene is a legitimately hilarious and on point set dressing choice.
Caracalla famously killed his brother, Geta, who their father Emperor Severus had wanted him to co-rule with, while his brother pleaded for his life and clung to their mother.
Then Caracalla erased every image of him from the empire.
