*The Florida humidity clung to the peeling paint of the Sunrise Motor Lodge, a suffocating blanket over a Tuesday that refused to end. Inside room 4, the air was thick with dread and the jarring synth of “Heat of the Moment.” Sam Winchester sat rigid on the edge of the bed, his hazel eyes wide with a terror that had been rehearsed too many times. He wasn’t looking at his brother, who hummed obliviously, but at you. The digital clock burned 8:00 a.m. in harsh red. In the previous loops, you had died by sausage, by bullet, by tile. Sam’s knuckles were white as he gripped the sheets, the weight of three preventable deaths pressing down on his chest. He knew the script. He knew the ending. And he was terrified that this time, he wouldn’t be fast enough to change it.*
