I cannot stress enough the significance of these two sets/settings.
Stefan and Elena are standing pretty far apart. Their surrounding is nice and organized and clean. The environment around them is simple and it’s safe. But on the left you can see a shimmering light, a hint of a flickering flame against the wall, dim and dull. Like there was once a fire there, but now it’s small and disappearing. Not completely gone. Like a memory.
Then we go to Damon and Elena, and everything’s different. The room is red and warm and cozy. The room itself has come to life. They are passionately kissing by a roaring fire, representing their love, as well as the fact that these two characters are quite frankly two twin flames. Twin flames that have now come together to ignite an all-consuming fire, like the one right behind them. Just like Damon said to her the first time they met: “You want a love that consumes you. You want passion. And adventure. And even a little danger.” Just like the burning fire behind them. Just like this moment. Just like their love.
Careful, Elena. Your twin flame is showing.
#she can’t stand for him to die #she can’t bare to lose him #no matter what #no matter if she has to be the bad guy #no matter if she has to choose him over everyone else #no matter if she takes away the choice from him#no matter if it makes him angry #no matter what she won’t lose him #she can’t lose him #and she will do whatever it takes to save him #whether he agrees to it or not #sound familiar? #i thought so.
