Guys, its this scene in season 3 episode 9 that always gets me.
Now, I was bullied in school, I was near the state Kinney was in, but I was too young, so I didn't know that's what I was feeling at the time.
But its not just because of the fact that I relate to this scene is what makes it heartbreaking. It's also because Klaus never had anyone say this to him, either. He probably felt these exact thought as a child, because he was never good enough for Mikael, but especially after finding out Mikeal wasn't his father.
Yes, Elijah was indeed there for him, and did pick him up, as we see in a flashback in season 2, the morning after they were turned. Elijah did comfort his brother, I know. But still, I feel like Klaus felt these feelings and so he said the words to Kinney that he had wished someone said to him.
"While I can't take away the feelings of worthlessness that haunt you now, I can tell you you will learn to live with them. I certainly have. I have also come to find that the very thing you believe is worth the least matters most of all."
"There is beauty in the courage of the fragile fighter-- those who persevere despite all they've been through. Those who still believe there is good in the world. Us dark things often find we need the light the most."
"What you do not see in yourself, others see in you. You do matter."
"Have you a family?"
"Yeah, a sister. Baton Rouge."
"Go to her. Enjoy Christmas. In the new year, you will return to your captain, and he will welcome you with open arms."
"And Detective? You will remember today as your darkest day. Tomorrow will be better, the day after better still. You will go on."
