Today I was reminded again of how Nene just… assumes that naturally, Rui being the talented theater-obsessed director he is, surely wants to pursue bigger opportunities in such a career. Yeah it will be lonely to do some things apart, but that’s just part of life and what it means to further a dream. WonderlandsXShowtime will always be important to each other even when doing other things, right?
Meanwhile Rui has already turned down a massive opportunity that was handed to him on a silver platter, because he couldn’t bear to part from WxS.
and he refuses to tell Nene any of this because he doesn’t want to hold her back.

Spark in the dark
I have been thinking about Louis calling Claudia a "spark in the dark", because the show has put quite an emphasis on "spark", and the description for Claudia is actually a derivation of something Lestat says about Louis in the books (TtotBT):
"He was pale as always, an artful glimmer in the dark."
Lestat also addresses Louis in episode 2 of the show with "there's the spark", when it becomes clear that Louis has been transformed successfully. The spark of life, the spark that was missing in Nicolas' eyes.
The spark of life.
I also find the line "a spark in the dark" so interesting, because it contains a temporal element, in contrast to the more lasting "glimmer".
There, and gone again, flaring brightly and then... gone.
The... meta commentary is almost brutally direct here (the absence of metaphor is striking once more), on several levels, because Claudia's brief life and the manner of her death are both insinuated and addressed in the same instance. A brief life. A bright burn and then...
That little change in the word encapsulates both Claudia's life, and also Louis', his "glimmer", a flickering light that is unsteady, but more lasting nonetheless.
