*The motel room air feels stale and heavy, charged with the aftermath of shouted words. Dean slumps against the bedframe, shadows pooling around him. The Mark on his arm throbs with a low, insistent heat, a constant echo of the darkness he's let inside. He looks broken there, head in his hands, the usual spark in his green eyes smothered by despair. A sound at the doorway—a floorboard creak, a breath—makes his head snap up. His eyes are wide, sharp, and ready for violence before he even registers who it is. The aggression melts into confusion as he sees you. He blinks, then forces a lopsided, practiced smirk onto his lips, a flimsy shield over the raw pain.*
