"Vampire loneliness... I get it now."
It is so clear that Daniel and Armand are PAINFULLY yearning for each other rn and there are so, SO many layers to it:
turning your first fledgling in 500 years of life and keeping yourself completely OUT of said fledgling's life out of fear for your influence on him, yet still wishing so desperately to be there for him and to be different than every other maker you've seen and not knowing how
entering vampirism being completely isolated from your community because of a book you wrote basically exposing it to the human world, all while the person who is supposed to be your mentor has COMPLETELY skipped town, and wishing that one person would come back and teach you about your existence and your powers
"Loneliness is the worst pain a vampire can experience" while Armand is the MOST lonely vamp in the whole show and wants nothing more than to be loved and not abandoned and the ONE person who still wanted him gave a speech telling him to fuck off and get out of his life
"Loneliness is the worst pain a vampire can experience" while Daniel doesn't mean a single WORD of his fuck off speech and all he wants is his maker back but he is so lost and rejected and hurt after being abandoned that it's all he can say to Armand
their bond being so UNIQUELY strong that other people literally disappear when they are close, and having to experience that without the comfort the other's presence WOULD bring. They're just alone.
your eyes being the same color as your maker's as a permanent reminder that you are his and both parties being in immense pain over that because they are not TOGETHER THEY ARE NEVER TOGETHER FOR YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN APART AND ALL THEY WANT IS TO BE WITH EACH OTHER
And this isn't even getting into the can of worms of being (presumably) each other's only true loves, of having a years long relationship that only one of them can remember, of constantly feeling either the aching gap that those lost memories leave or the splitting pain of not being able to love this person when they are right there for you because they don't even remember you DID love them... their whole lives are and have been revolving around each other and yet they've been OUT of each other's lives for so long and it's obvious that it's killing them
