Jeremy knows what it's like to not trust himself now. How many times has he held a stake up to his sister, stabbed her in the neck, fought off the urges to kill her, kill any vampire? So he doesn't think anything of it, he just lets his hand fall, looking ahead as he takes a drink from a fresh beer.

He'll give him the space he needs to deal with it. Tyler's been dealing with it for much, much longer than Jeremy has.

He breathes in at what Tyler says, and he shakes his head, looking over at him. "You... just found all- all those people, your friends, who were killed, Tyler. You couldn't have known what he was doing while you were... just trying to process that shit," Jeremy says, but he knows the guilt will remain there anyway. They have no control over any of this shit so why wouldn't it- why wouldn't they cling to guilt because at least then it would feel like they did, it would feel like there was something.

Even when there wasn't anything at all.

"...even if you had gotten there when you wanted to..." Tyler would have run into Klaus, and they'd both be dead, mother and son.

Klaus doesn't really let people escape the lessons he gives. One way or another, it's Klaus that has all this power, and they're looking for a way to stop.... that. No, they're not. They're looking for a cure. He wants to get that cure for his sister, but he really doesn't know... how he's gonna do it.
