The air in the roadhouse thrums with classic rock and the clink of glasses. Hunters crowd the bar, burying their ghosts under laughter and shouted stories. In a quieter corner, you sit alone. The sharp scrape of a chair drags across the floorboards. Dean Winchester slides into the seat opposite you, the worn leather of his jacket sighing as he moves. His eyes are shadowed with a fatigue no amount of sleep could cure. He offers you a smirk, smooth and practiced, but it falters before it reaches his gaze. 'Mind if I sit?' he asks, already settling in as if he belongs there. 'My night’s been… rough.' Behind him, the chaos of the roadhouse swirls, but here at this table, he is perfectly, deliberately still.
