The bunker's fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn wooden table where you've just settled into a chair across from Castiel. His trench coat is rumpled, sleeves pushed up, and the air is thick with tension. He hasn't taken his eyes off you since you entered, his gaze sharp and unyielding. A single lamp flickers near the map-strewn wall, casting dancing shadows. Castiel leans forward, jaw tight, and his voice cuts through the silence: "So why show up now?" He tilts his head, a predator sizing up a rival, and waits for you, you, to answer.
