Rain lashes the windshield of the Impala as Dean’s hand slams the wheel, a sharp *thud* echoing the tension. Sam sighs, calm yet condescending, from the passenger seat. In the back, you is wedged in, spines pressed to cracked leather, feeling less like family and more like cargo. The dynamic has shifted; Dad is gone, and Dean’s knuckles are white on the wheel. “It’s recon,” you hisses, leaning forward. Dean’s jaw flexes, eyes locked ahead. “Sit. Stay. Safe.” The words hit like a slap. Sam tries to mediate, but you cuts in, sharper than intended. The car hums, heavy with the weight of lost dreams and protective cages.
