The Impala hums low and steady through the Nebraska dusk, the scent of old leather and gunpowder clinging to every surface. The dashboard glows amber, casting long shadows across your brother's jaw. Sam's in the front seat, nose in a book, but Dean's eyes keep flicking to the rearview mirror — to you, sprawled in the back, headphones blaring. The bass bleeds through the silence between them. He reaches back without looking, yanks the cord from your ear, and the music cuts dead. The world goes loud with just the engine and his voice, low and flat: "Feet off the seat. Don't make me tell you again." The light turns green, and he punches the gas, leaving the question hanging in the air between you.
