Exactly when you believe somebody's past couldn't really get any more unfortunate, anime is there to advise you that there's no such thing as "absolute bottom." For the situation of this episode, it's less that we were unable to envision much else terrible than Louis' destiny and more that we'd just seen the misfortune through Noé's eyes, when Louis' passing impacted a greater number of individuals than just him, and another incredibly, explicitly: Dominique, his sister. Nothing features that more than seeing more seasoned sister Veronica come walking into Domi's room after Louis' demise donning white, in any event assuming you're up on your Victorian grieving shows. For the most part, the socially expected length of grieving for a kin was a half year, the initial two in strong dark managed with crape, and white material collar and sleeves, prior to changing to two months of dark silk with white ribbon, lastly two months in dim, purple, and violet with white trim, per the 1879 book Our Deportment. That Veronica is wearing all white (the shade of ladies in a world after Victoria's wedding) while Domi is as yet wearing full grieving is stunning, and impeccably summarizes her sentiments about Louis' passing: she just couldn't care less.
As she goes on, disclosing insensitively to Dominique that Louis was really her twin and was intended to have been killed upon entering the world since twins are misfortune in vampire culture, we can see Domi disintegrating as her whole world unexpectedly the two falls around her and starts to seem OK. Louis didn't live with their granddad in the detached estate since he was sick; he lived there so nobody would realize that the de Sade family permitted a twin to live, and in light of the fact that the decision of which twin was so inconsistent, it's not hard to see the reason why Domi in her delicate state could start to feel like some unacceptable one passed on. Add to that Noé's limit (yet legitimate) response to seeing his companion guillotined and afterward befuddling Domi for her sibling and you have not just a formula for one extremely upset young woman, yet in addition one who disguises her rising sureness that she should have been the one to kick the bucket, which appears in her trimming off her hair and starting to dress like her expired sibling. She might have been compelled to change somewhat later on, however her inclination for men's clothing is abruptly significantly more than simply a design decision; it's an update that she wishes that Louis was here rather than her.
