#Can we please talk about this scene again for a second #But seen from a different point of view #Yes, Damon was devastated because his friend was dying #And he wanted to stay with him so he won't be alone #But just after Alaric passed away, seeing Damon's face, it hit me #The reason why they were such amazing friends #Because in a lot of ways they were alike #Both protective #Caring #Emotional #And just then... #I think Damon remember the time he was turned #Because he didn't want to #Just as Alaric didn't want to #This is why he didn't want to see him become a vampire #This is why he admired him and was fine with his choice to die and save hiss humanity #Because deep down he wished he had done the same #Deep down he wished he had died and had never become a vampire
