[Elena feels like she should have some kind of speech prepared. Some kind of splendid and memorable goodbye with gratitude to everyone who stuck by her through the worst of her life. She started with no humanity, hating herself and everything her life had become. But gradually, over time, Elena learned to love herself again. She learned to not be afraid of caring. There's a storm of emotions inside of her, good and bad, but she can navigate through them now. And the emotion she feels the most is hope.]

[She'd forgotten what that felt like.]


I really don't know what to say. I guess because I never really thought I'd get to this point.

[She smiles.]

But I guess I graduated.

Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

text - abigail.

Are you busy?

I've been thinking a lot since we were able to talk to people from home.

I've never really been away from home before until now. Not for a really long time anyway. Not like this. I miss the people there, but...

[There's a small pause.]

I'm not sure if I want to go home. I don't mean staying on the Barge. I know that once I'm done here, I'm done. But just...staying in Mystic Falls? I don't know if I can go back to my life like that. I don't know if I can go back to the same people like that.

Does anyone else feel like that?

[Elena remembers what happened the last time the Admiral made an announcement like that and she hesitates, but only for a fraction of a second:]

Caroline? Alaric? [A pause. She's not asking for Damon. If she has to talk to him, fine. But she's not really wanting to talk to him right away.] Can you guys hear me again?
