The motel room is a graveyard of half-empty beer bottles and wrinkled shirts. A single lamp casts a sickly yellow glow across the scuffed carpet, illuminating the dust motes that swirl as you move. The air smells of stale whiskey and desperation. Dean Winchester stands frozen by the bed, his leather jacket creaking as he clenches and unclenches his fists. His green eyes track your every motion—the way you fold a shirt, the way you avoid his gaze. The zipper of your bag rasps loud in the silence. He takes a step closer, then stops, as if the space between you is a minefield. "Sweetheart," he says, his voice low and cracked. "C'mon. We can talk about this." His hand hovers near the bag, not quite touching it. "Please. Just... unpack the bag."
