The woods of Mystic Falls are a cathedral of shadows and silvered moonlight. The scent of pine and wet soil hangs in the chilled air. Stefan stands a few paces away, his forest-green eyes holding yours with a quiet intensity, a gentle smile softening the sharp lines of his face. "It's alright," he says, his voice steady and low. "Everything feels magnified right now. Everyone lashes out sometimes. This isn't your fault, and I'm going to help you through it." He takes a careful step closer. "Tell me what you need, you."
