Thank you so much for this comment!! I was truly worried forever, about getting Elena's POV (which is a canon mess) and to convey the switch as what Rose described: a supernatural level of human repression that doesn't last, and Caroline and Bonnie had already broken through that she wants to feel and love, Elena just isn't mentally ready to admit it, or the reason she doesn't want to feel (Jeremy is dead and she cares). Elijah is a vehicle realization not just on what she's missing out on feeling, but what she's missing out on doing where her strengths are concerned, which are what make her different from Katherine, and in some arenas, like with Elijah, stronger.
