[Elena shakes her head a little. He doesn't have to finish that sentence for her to know what he means, what he thinks has to be done. (That he has to do.) But that's not the only option. She knows from experience that it is an option, but it doesn't have to be the first or only. She can still do something to save Stefan from himself. She's done it more than enough times by now. One more time wouldn't be asking too much.]

I want your help in containing him, [she corrects with a small shake of her head.] I don't know how vampires in your world work, but vampires like us start to desiccate if we don't feed. If he dries out for a little while, he'll be weaker and easier to help.

It'll just be trapping him that'll be a little difficult without vervain. But all we'd have to do is something like break his neck. It'd be enough to knock him out for a few hours.

He can come back from it. I know he can.
