[ being pulled back into prison was reminder enough of what this place was capable of: so when elena arrives at sector 0 and sees what's going on, it's not with shock, but anger. she walks among the pictures, spotting some of those she knows here, some she knows from home. some of her.
pictures that tell secrets not to be known to the entire prison. (damon and stefan, human. hands in chest cavities. blood on stefan's face.) tears fill her eyes at some them: pictures of alaric, of matt drowning, of jeremy dead. she reaches out to touch some of them, thinks about taking them down -
instead she leaves them, feeling resolve harden against what this place has done, against whatever reaction they were hoping for. they mean to do this. ]
