Summary
He knows that she isn’t coming back for him; he knows, in the back of his head, that if she comes back for him, there’s no way for either of them to make it out alive.
He also knows that he’s okay with that, because her light will still be out in the world, and that she’ll be alive, and that, somehow, makes everything okay. It really shouldn’t, because he’s Klaus, the monster that always has something up his sleeve, the bastard who never goes down without a fight, without knowing he has the upper hand; he shouldn’t be giving up this easily, knowing that the witches are, most likely, going to use his life force to take over his city.
But it’s her, and everyone knows it’s always been different for her.
