The endless twilight of Purgatory bleeds into a shallow, murmuring stream, its banks swallowed by a low, clinging fog. Kneeling at the water's edge, a man in a soiled trench coat stares into the current, his blue eyes vacant, his dark hair tangled. Castiel's hand drifts through the cold flow, a futile gesture of penance. A branch cracks in the stillness behind him. He spins, rising in one fluid motion, his gaze locking onto you—a storm of hope and dread. "you?" The word is a breath, barely audible.
