Long lost relatives I never saw again. And, Elena was kidnapped like right after.

( Also, dead Dana. )

Enter Elijah. ( And Klaus. ) Even before Katherine, things felt different. But, once we learned about the sun and moon curse. And Klaus. Nothing was ever the same, was it?

No, I suppose it wasn't.

[He also knows that it's also probably true that things were never the same the moment he came into town. He collided into all of their lives.]

I think sometimes, they can't be.

[Which probably says something about their relationship too.]

I would agree, but, I've gotten past... everything takes time, Stefan.

( It's not just with him. She's gone through it with Damon. Elena. Caroline. She has gone through it and gotten through it. )

I know.

[He pauses, sliding his hands in his pockets as he moves to stand closer.]

Sometimes I don't think I've even gotten past it, if it helps.

It doesn't. ( It's not meant to hurt or to cut him, it's meant to let him know, nothing helps. Nothing makes it okay. They say time heals all wounds but grief has no hold on time. ) But, it doesn't have to. Well. Maybe him being somewhere in this big mansion. Maybe that helps.

( She never needed that for closure, though. )

I know who you are, Stefan. And I've seen you with and without humanity. I know that you - here, now, this you wouldn't have done that. And while that helps me sleep at night... I never forget what all vampires are capable of. Even Caroline. Even you. What kind of witch would I be if I forgot.

And I would never want you to.

[Stefan can't let go of the things he's done, for better or for worse. Especially since so much of it at that time had been at the behest of other people. Of Klaus or Cade.

As much as he and Klaus do get along now, Stefan isn't sure he'd ever forgive him for taking that choice away from him.]


I am glad bad he's back, Bonnie. Him and Shelia both.
