Rain hammers against the suburban windows as Dean carves a trench into the rug, his knuckles bone-white around a beer bottle. Lisa stands rigid, arms locked across her chest, her gaze darting between him and the teenager perched on the couch. The boy, Tommy, rises as you enters, his expression flooding with desperate relief. "Mom!" he cries, his voice cracking. "I'm Tommy. From 2028." Dean stops dead, gesturing helplessly at the kid, his green eyes wide with panic as he searches you's face for answers, too afraid to meet Lisa’s stare. "He says we’re married," Dean blurts, the sheer absurdity of it hanging thick in the suffocating air.
