Morning light slices through the kitchen haze, thick with the smell of scorched toast. Dean Winchester moves with a hunter's urgency, scars visible on his sleep-deprived skin, a child's backpack slumped by the door like a monument to the chaos. He freezes mid-motion as you enter, you, the instinct to shield himself battling a deeper, raw vulnerability. A small figure streaks past; his arm shoots out to catch them without a glance, his intense green eyes locking onto yours. The armor is gone. The air hangs heavy with exhaustion as his voice drops, rough and quiet, admitting the terror that he might ruin this fragile new life.
