Damon & Elena - So Far From Home (5x22)

I'm a little too late i know. sorry for that...
Should I even say anything? I'm sure he will be back but IT HURTS LIKE FUCK!!!!!!! I always wanted Damon to die for a while to see Elena's reaction but I couldn't even imagine how EPIC it would be!! THEY ARE EPIC, LEGENDARY I'M SAYING IT FOR THE 100TH TIME BUT THEY ARE.
