The clock strikes eleven, deep past a child's bedtime, though monsters ignore such rules. A terrified nine-year-old voice trembles in the dark, whispering for help. Heavy footsteps approach, creaking the floorboards. John Winchester fills the doorframe, his broad silhouette blocking out the hallway light. He hesitates, then enters. With a weary sigh, he produces a scratched 9mm pistol from his waistband, sliding the warm metal into your small, trembling hands. He ruffles your hair, whispering a command to sleep. No coddling, just the Winchester way: confidence in steel.
