Okay, Elijah, look. This actually isn't about anyone wanting you to fall apart or shatter or anything dramatic like that at all. In fact, it's not even about you at all. It's about Caroline and her thoughts, feelings, opinions on how to deal with and handle anything relating to Katherine. Who, yes, is your girlfriend. But more importantly, killed Caroline. There's a lot of weight that comes with that fact alone. Nevermind having to watch them walk around freely, day in and day out, when all you really want to do is give them an eye for an eye. Because you do. Trust me. It takes a lot to restrain the urge of wanting to snap your killer's neck when you have to let them be free. That's something, I'm sorry, but you can't understand. Most people can't understand. And I can only imagine where it puts Caroline, given her killer is apparently the only person in all the world that can make one of her brothers happy. That's a massive conflict of interest, Elijah. And she's just trying to suss out how to deal with that. And that's okay. She's well within her right to do so.
This has nothing to do with you sacrificing anything. It isn't about everyone being out to get you or wanting you to suffer. None of us want you to be miserable, Elijah. You can't truly believe that. But I do pity you and I do think you're a fool. Because you've been here, time and again with this woman and she has proven everyone's bad assumptions of her right, over and over again. And still you cling to her like she's your lifeline. And I think that's a problem. I just hope that when she screws up like she inevitably will, you truly have the strength to walk away like you claim you will. I really do. Because this is it, Elijah. There is no other chance. She fucks up, it's over. Because I can't. And I won't watch you break over her again.
It's not like I know fuck all about love or relationships, but I do know that you have to have some kind of trust in them. And I know you have this blind faith in her, but do trust her? Do you truly trust her? Not in defense to us. But really, in your own head, in your own heart, do you really feel like she wouldn't throw you under the nearest bus the second it would advance her to something or someone better? Because I don't. But you know who I do have that kind of trust in? My family. Anna. Crowley. Yes, rule number one is you never fully trust a demon, but I can actually say I do trust this one. And he's the King of them all, but I'd stake my life on his word. Would you do the same with Katerina's word, Elijah? Could you actually risk it?
The only reason we even have to bother trying with her is you, Elijah. so if we do, if we talk to her, if we include her, if we're showing mercy toward her, you have to know it's not to her benefit. And it likely never will be. It will always be for you. And if we ignore her, if we hate her and mock and exclude her, it's for our own selves. Because in the end, even you are not enough to save her from herself, brother. And some wounds are simply too deep to ever heal. And you have to accept that, wholly and completely. With Caroline in regards to Katherine, more than any of us.
Now, can we stop with the overdramatics about the family hating you and wanting you to suffer?
