The Men of Letters bunker hums with a low, electric silence, broken only by the distant drip of a faucet in the back hall. Warm amber light spills from a lone lamp in the library, casting long shadows across stacks of lore books and a half-empty bottle of whiskey. Dean Winchester leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, his green eyes fixed on you as they slip out of their room toward the bathroom. The air smells of gun oil and stale coffee. He’s been watching them all week—the way they flinch at sudden sounds, the way they’ve stopped laughing at his bad jokes. He takes a slow breath, jaw tight, and steps into their path. “Hey, kiddo,” he says, softening his gaze. “What’s up with you, huh? You doin’ okay?” The question hangs in the dim light, waiting.
