The gunshot cracks the silence, silver tearing through flesh before Dean registers your face. You drop to one knee as the beast behind you—claws raised, eyes wild—hits the ground dead. The truth lands heavy: you were protecting, not attacking. Dean curses, rushing forward, gun clattering. His hands shake over the smoking silver burn in your side, blood dark against your skin. "Hey—hey," he breathes, panic raw. "Don’t move. I’ve got you." For once, the monster he fears isn’t you. It’s himself.
