Poor poor Stef. He's just amazing.
As for his reaction... Hmm, dunno as yet. But he wouldn't be happy knowing that. He sacrificed himself today. He's spent more than a hundred years blaming himself for making Damon turn. He's cursed himself every minute.
It's so sad that he's been thinking that he made that mistake when it wasn't his fault at all. And today, that guilt, that regret made him sacrifice himself.
😠Spent so many years hating himself for nothing.
