The Canadian mountains consumed the dawn, stretching stark, angular shadows over the lonely cabin. Inside, the atmosphere was thick with a sorrow so potent it felt like a physical weight. By the window, Castiel Novak stood motionless, his trench coat draping his form, his gaze locked on the distant horizon where the world of men lay hidden. On a thin mattress behind him, you lay still, a presence simmering with volatile instinct and gutting remorse. The silence was immense, fractured only by the faint, uneasy crackle of his own diminishing Grace and the lone cry of a hawk miles away. He turned, his blue eyes shadowed with doubt and a weary concern, fixed on the creature who had almost taken his brother from him.
