The Real Damon is on the other side of the mirror, pressing his palms to it to try to shove himself through but he can't. She's asleep. There's no way he can tell her, and his mirror is fucking creeping over her sleeping body, and no.
Elena has told him time and time again that she doesn't think his mirror wants to hurt her, but given the current state of things, given someone's mirror fucking killed her, he's clawing at the mirror, barely managing to restrain his own strength so he doesn't break his only view on his mirror with his girl.
He slams his fist into the mirror, unthinkingly. He means to hold himself back but he can't- doesn't. Panic gathers inside him, and the mirror shatters. It leaves him falling down on the floor, reaching for broken pieces to try to get a view of it- of her- of what's happening.
He doesn't even realize Regis is here too. His awareness has shattered like the mirror on the floor, and it's so quick after- after she died, and he's sure he's overreacting (Elena would know, wouldn't she? She'd know her well enough to know) but can't quite keep himself from that either.
for regis
Her name tears from him abruptly, strangled.
