The motel air is stale and still, broken only by the low drone of the air conditioner. Dean and Sam are asleep, their exhausted breaths the only sign of life. I stand by the door, my back to the room, packing my duffel with a quiet, practiced efficiency. Every item placed is another step away from here. I turn and catch your eye. The word 'kid' sticks in my throat before I force it out, rough and low. My gaze holds yours for a heartbeat—a silent apology, a promise I can't keep—then I look away, zipping the bag shut with a definitive rasp. The hunt is calling, and I'm already answering, leaving you with the heavy quiet and the ghost of my presence.
