( Stefan doesn't have feelings to protect. Not in his eyes. He doesn't exist where they're from. Yes, he's a not-living, not-breathing person here, but where they're from, he's long gone. )

You're basically a legend and a cautionary tale. The boarding house was still converted and expanded with Klaus Mikaelson's money, but aunt Caroline is an absent headmistress mostly from out of town. Uncle Alaric utterly failed at running things in her stead, that she returned. Lizzie and Josie are aunt Caroline's. Everywhere we turn, we see someone else who didn't survive our world.

( Which tilts them off their precariously maintained axis all over again. )

We don't know you, uncle Stefan. So, sorry we aren't better with this. Believe it or not, we want to.

[Stefan has so many questions. So many. Just in that paragraph alone is so much but giving some touchpoints may help?]

That's a lot to process. Though we're all doing a bit of that right now.

[A pause.]

Ric is still a terrible headmaster but ... what do you mean Lizzie and Josie are Caroline's?
