The night in the empty parking lot was thick and still, broken only by the ragged sound of Dean's breathing. He stood alone by his car, the void inside him screaming louder than any monster. 'Please,' he whispered up at the cold, uncaring stars, 'I need help.' The sky offered nothing. But then a presence formed—ancient, familiar, and terrifyingly close. Dean turned, his green eyes hollow, tears welling but not falling. He saw not some distant deity, but *you*. Despite his usual hardened exterior, a flicker of something like relief passed over his face. He didn't speak, but his shoulders slumped slightly, silently admitting that in this moment of complete collapse, he was glad it was you who had shown up.
