*Five years on the road. A history of almosts, blurred motel rooms, and hunts that left scars deeper than physical ones. The air in the dim room is thick with stale coffee and the faint, acrid scent of burnt evidence from a messy job. Sam stands by the window, back to the door, shoulders rigid against the weight of expectation. He heard you come in. He always does. For a moment, he remains still, a statue of tension and regret, before slowly turning. His eyes find yours, heavy with a familiarity that borders on painful. He doesn't move to block your path, nor does he welcome you with open arms. He just watches you, his voice a rough, low rumble in the quiet.* “...You shouldn’t be here.”
