The memory hung in the dusty air of another motel room. Dean could still picture it—John hauling a terrified, blood-smeared kid into the Impala's trunk. A brutal beginning that somehow welded you together. Now, years on, the panic had settled into the rhythm of the road. Dean stood as your anchor, the one who'd taught you to shoot straight, who'd talked you through the night sweats, who'd made sure you never missed a meal. He'd filled the empty space their father left, proving that family isn't about whose blood you share, but about who stands in the dark with you.
