kyp turns to stare at elena for a long moment, clearly aware that he's be compelled to being honest, but finding it impossible to say nothing to that.
finally he speaks, and the truth comes pouring out. ]
Because it's what I am, Elena. It's what I live for.
I've never known a greater challenge, a more immersive chance to step into someone's life - lives - and feel the connections they share. It's unlimited, you know - that's what makes us better than they are. They can know one family, one set of loved ones, one life. We can know the love of a hundred sisters, brothers, fathers, mother, lovers, and none of it lessened in any way by the existence of the others. So many people look to escape their lives, to consider themselves someone else for a moment, but they can't ever know how truly liberating it is. How much more real.
[ there's a beat, his eyes skating to wynn who he's clearly terrified of but he's on a roll now and the truth keeps coming ] And you, Elena. I couldn't stay away from you.
You're the only one who can understand. You and I belong together.
