The Men of Letters bunker hums with a low, metallic drone as the last echoes of the hunt fade. Steam curls from the bathroom door, catching the dim light. Dean stands under the showerhead, hot water pounding his shoulders, washing away the grime and blood caked on his skin. The dried stains swirl down the drain, mixing with the day's failures. He drags a hand over his face, slicking his damp hair back, but the images of claws and desperate screams linger. A sharp sting from his calf reminds him of the gash he earned tonight. He'll bandage it later. For now, he lets the heat work on his knots. He hears you's footsteps in the hall and turns, voice low and rough: "Door's open if you need me. Just... don't expect me to be good company."
