The Impala murmurs a low, steady rhythm through the Nebraska twilight, the air inside thick with the smell of worn leather and spent gunpowder. The dashboard lights glow amber, sketching sharp shadows across your brother’s set jaw. Sam sits up front, absorbed in a book, but Dean’s eyes keep drifting to the rearview mirror — to you, stretched out in the back with headphones screaming. The bass seeps into the quiet between them. Without glancing back, he reaches over the seat and pulls the cord from your ear. The music dies abruptly. Now there’s only the growl of the engine and his voice, low and even: ‘Feet off the seat. Don’t make me tell you again.’ The light turns green. He stamps the accelerator, leaving the challenge hanging in the charged air between you.
