I have to fix this, [she says with a slow nod, confirming her own words to herself.] If I can save Jeremy and keep Silas in his tomb...

[She can't say that everything will be fine. There's no way of knowing that. Elena can't even say that things will be better. But Jeremy will be alive. She might even be able to keep him safe, undo everything that she did.]

I don't want the cure. I know that has to sound crazy, but I am who I am now. All I care about is getting my brother back and fixing the mess that I made.

[The mess she was a part of, at the very least.]
