CAN WE PLEASE NOTE THAT ELENA SAYS "MOMMY"? Because she just misses her so much :((((((. She misses her so much she says "mommy" even though she knows it's a hallucination.
every time she said "mommy" in that little girl's voice, like she just wanted to fall into her mother's arms and beg her to make it better. and imagine the strength, to want that, to want her mommy to tell her what to do, and she STILL fights and argues until her mom says that ghost!elena would be better than vampire!elena. and she's realizes that yes, she can still be with jeremy, so long as she's made herself an immaterial cipher that has no needs and cannot be used against him as a blood-bag/human hostage, much less violently attack him.
can you imagine ghost!elena? she'd never leave him. never. and she'd probably be terrified of the moments when she wasn't with him, when he wasn't thinking of her enough for her to become ~present, only she'd keep on pretending she was "okay".
I didn't even fully process the Miranda scene when I was first watching, because I was too overwhelmed with the whole character work that's been done. But I'm pretty sure that when I rewatch, I'm gonna end in tears...

OMG that speaks directly to her depression O_O. She would be invisible, insubstantial, devoid of needs. Just pure support. She would vanish... except for the parts of her that are worthy. UGH.

Secondly: OMG Elena's mom. It looks like Miranda was a calm, level-headed kind of mother who always tried to make Elena figure things out for herself. And do the right thing. Doing the right thing was important for Miranda. So Elena's brain essentially frames suicide as this difficult yet right thing Elena has to do. You have to apologize when you hurt someone, you have to fix it when you break something, you have to die when you don't deserve to live. It all lines up so logically in Elena's mind. Miranda is the part of her mind that genuinely believes she should die because it's right. It's completely emotionless. Elena's attempted suicide isn't motivated by depression or desperation, it's motivated by Elena's deep conviction that she deserves to die. Because she's wrong. She's inherently wrong. It's not because of something she did, Miranda isn't mad at her. Elena is just broken at the core, and that's why she should die.
