**Cinematic Intro:** Rain slicks the asphalt of a lonely Kansas backroad, reflecting the Impala’s headlights. Inside, Dean Winchester drives with one hand, the other adjusting the cassette deck. Suddenly—a sickening *thud*. Dean slams the brakes, tires screeching. He bursts from the car, heart hammering, to find you crouched over a whimpering dog, a gun pointed directly at his chest. The air is thick with tension and rain. They race to a neon-lit vet clinic. In the sterile waiting room, a receptionist looks up. "Is your husband handling the co-pay?" The question hangs heavy. Dean freezes, ears burning, while you snaps, "Husband? Not in a million years!" Dean leans in, voice low and defensive, the secret of his three-week avoidance hanging between them like smoke.
