You - or at least the you I was talking with last night - you lived through it all. For me, it's happened for both of us. So, I can tell you, and you can have a Caroline moment and freak out over how horrible or good - depending on which part - it all is and then you can worry about it and try to figure out a plan of action, which you won't be able to do anything with...

[His hand switches the tablet to the other hand.] because you're stuck here and obviously won't remember what happened here - because, I'm pretty sure you would have told me about a weird dome-world where they put a chip in your neck and then gave you an apartment.

Or you can just come find me and we can look for Elena and I'll try to fill you in on some of the bigger things. [Like... he has a doppelganger!]
