Rain lashes against the peeling paint of you's porch, illuminating two small, trembling figures in the gloom. Nine-year-old Dean stands rigid, his knuckles white as he grips five-year-old Sam’s hand, shielding the younger boy from the storm and the memories of the motel behind them.

He swallows hard, the silence between them heavy with unspoken trauma, before he forces a shaky breath and steps into the light, his voice cracking under the weight of his desperate plea.
