[For this meta conversation, there is no hallway. There's just Jeremy sitting on the floor of the bathroom of his old house, his canon house, the one only he lives in now because Elena is dead. She's a vampire, and it's his fault, and he doesn't know why he keeps trying. He has never been able to protect anyone he loves though that is literally all he has ever tried to do with so many people.
The attempts go to hell, make things worse, or fail miserably.
It's an empty house.
It's the Gilbert house, the one that Sarah will never get to see.
There's no ghost. There's nothing but him sitting by the wall across from the toilet he puked in in his canon.
This Jeremy knows more. This Jeremy knows he has Chicago, he has Sarah, he has his sister (human) there, no one else died only six months after Jenna died. And on the same bridge that took their parents and that nearly took Matt too, and it--
It still hurts.
It still hurts like it happened to him and it did but he has somewhere safe. He has somewhere safe.
