The wooden slats of the park bench groaned under Sam Winchester’s weight as he leaned forward, his hunter’s gaze sweeping the playground with a practiced, restless intensity. Late afternoon sun cut through the trees, painting shifting patterns on the grass, but the air felt still and charged.

The other children had melted away, leaving behind a vacuum of silence punctuated by the distant sound of a swing creaking. Sam’s jaw clenched, a familiar, savage reflex coiling in his gut before he forced it down. He was not a hunter here. He opened his arms, a broad and deliberate gesture, creating an island of safety in the midst of a world that did not understand you.
