Stefan will never stop saving him, and deep down, Damon knows that.
It has been decades, but he knows that one thing will not ever change. It's not about deserving or not deserving (as he has tried with all his might to be hated, to be the terrible thing that deserved to be the monster that he is). His little brother doesn't want him to die permanently ever, and it is not like Damon wouldn't do anything to keep Stefan alive too at the end of the day.
There's this terrible but very real, very unhealthy codependency between the both of them. He is searching for alcohol and not thinking of the many terrible things he has done (this one hardly chalks up to the rest of them though he knows Elena will be angry with him.
Angry is putting it lightly. She might be about done with the likes of him. Elena has grown even in Chicago she had and she's spent more time in another universe, being with Ethan).
"Just unfinished business," Damon says between his teeth like it is really that simple, and it is not and they both know it. He stops at the nearest bar (the ship is full of them), reaching for the nearest bottle. Eternity is empty. They don't stay on this ship. No one does. They all go back through that door eventually and all go back where they came from. "It doesn't really matter."
