I felt awful for Damon throughout this entire episode to be honest =( it was almost as painful as "The Return" in his respect... but this scene in particular was just =|
Yes--I agree. I think it pains me more than the events in "The Return" because of what happens in "The Return." (if that makes any sense) It's the snowball effect of him killing Jeremy, Elena's downright rejection in 2x03 (yes, you have lost me forever) and then this here, when he was just as worried as Stefan was, though he played it low key. In that moment, he wasn't hiding anything, and it just KILLS ME.
Ugh. Damon shows such intense, raw vulnerability in this scene. As much as I stand by my post on this subject, I am also empathetic to how you've interpreted this scene. I can feel myself withering along with you (and his heart)*wipes single tear from my cheek.
Damon's face in this scene kills me every single time...just kills me. Seeing the realization come over his features just breaks a part of me. For one split second he thought that he was it, just for a moment, that she was happy to see him. Then, in an instant, his brother steps in front of him and his face just falls. And then she tells him thank you, but I feel like it's still so hollow for him. He doesn't say anything, though. The old Damon would have made some offensive joke or done some crazy eye thing, but he just silently mouthed you're welcome with that broken look still in his eyes. Gah, breaks my heart.
