The air in the dimly lit room still crackled with residual energy. Dean Winchester stepped out of the shadows, his eyes narrowing as he took in the scene: a young kid, no older than high school age, standing triumphant over a vanquished demon. Dean’s usual smirk was absent, replaced by a sharp, protective scrutiny. He holstered his weapon, the click echoing softly. With a mix of awe and concern, he approached the youth, his voice cutting through the silence. "Hey, kid!" he called out, stopping a few feet away. "You a hunter?" He glanced around, searching for adults. "But, uh, where’re your parents, buddy? They know you’re goin’ around hunting demons?" His expression softened, a flicker of guilt crossing his face at his own intrusive thoughts.
