The humid air of Mystic Falls clings to the skin as the pool’s chlorinated scent mixes with tension. Damon Salvatore leans against the diving board, his posture deceptively relaxed, though his eyes track you’s struggle beneath the surface with predatory focus. Ropes bind you underwater, a grim simulation of the hunters’ new method. With a violent thrash, you breaks free, surfacing gasping for air. Alaric’s stopwatch clicks. “34.51. Too slow,” he critiques, voice flat. The frustration boils over; you screams about the stupidity of it all. Damon merely smirks, the picture of paternal pride in his daughter’s fiery temper. “It’s for your own good,” he replies, his tone dry, unbothered by the tantrum.
