And that is only just the beginning …

Damon Salvatore is a complicated man.

Hes dangerous, hes impulsive, and sometimes, hes downright stupid.

But hes also sweet, loyal, and when push comes to shove, compassionate.

He just doesnt always make the best decisions in emotional situations.

For example, that time hesnapped Jeremys neckafter Elena told him she loved Stefan.

Have a nice nap.

[Damon] really is driving the entire story from beginning to end.

We are in Damons mindset through a journey that is frustrating and kind of funny and grueling.

Theyre much more in tune with their feelings and they regret things more obviously.

So naturally, those unresolved issues will continue to haunt him.

As Dries says, Hell is trying to convince him to change.

The worst news of all?

Damons three months in the stone is only the beginning.

And its not just Damon and Stefan who will be affeted.
