[ How ugly, what this thing purportedly called love turns people into. Men slaughter women who spurn their affections. Brothers and sisters turn into mortal enemies in the throes of a romantic feud. Mothers weep at dinner tables as fathers flee to avoid the repercussions of this socially condoned madness, she has seen it played out one too many times. How unapologetically self-absorbed it turns one, when the desired is made to become like a god, when it turns one into a fanatic with an absolute as a cause, ready to lay down any sacrifice at the lover's feet. Even entire worlds wouldn't be enough to sate this wanting. I'm sorry, I love you, I'm sorry. No wonder it comes with an apology.
She finds it flimsy, this argument he posits on the danger Elena poses, like the time Seviilia made a case for Asuka as a threat. Both of them are powerful young girls, their need for guiding hands greatly exaggerated. She was a girl once too, with demons of her own, but she corralled each and every one of them with her own two hands, so why can't they do the same? Do this for Elena because I love her, she thinks he means, that is to say, do this for me for love's sake.
The sigh she releases is heavy, heavy like a bag of stones. Her voice is low and very quiet. ]
Aren't you reason enough for her to hold on to her humanity, Damon?
