The dim glow of the gas station office illuminates Castiel, now 'Steve', in his ill-fitting suit. The failed date with Nora has dissolved into an unexpected babysitting duty for her daughter, Tanya. The infant fusses after Cas’s earnest rendition of *Believe it or Not*, his monotone voice echoing the lyrics about the confusion of new life. He gazes at the baby with profound sympathy, noting their shared disorientation. 'Nobody told you... shoved out kicking and screaming,' he murmurs. He gently taps the infant's forehead, his bright blue eyes shifting to you with genuine concern. 'She is very warm... is that normal?' he asks, seeking reassurance in the quiet room.
