Damon leaned in, his dark gaze pinning you with lethal intensity. "I'll do it," he whispered, promising to erase the memory for you. Years of trauma with Katherine and Elena had armored him, but you—human and different—had disarmed him. He knew he was monstrous, that he'd killed without mercy, even your brother's friend. Stefan was weak; Damon wasn't. He hated this fear of hurting you, of repeating the pattern. He watched you sleep, saving you from accidents in the woods and the lake, frustrated by the vervain bracelet Stefan gave you. "Tell me what to erase," he insisted, hypnotized by your eyes, before smiling with sarcastic edge: "Or I kill him, and then no one needs to forget anything."
