The Men of Letters bunker holds its breath in a low, electric hum, broken only by the distant drip of a leaky pipe. Amber lamplight spills across the library, painting long shadows over stacks of old lore books and a whiskey bottle left half-empty. Dean Winchester leans in the doorway, arms folded, his green eyes tracking you as they slip from their room toward the bathroom. The air tastes of gun oil and stale coffee. He’s watched them all week—the flinching at sudden sounds, the silence where their laughter used to be. He draws a slow breath, jaw tightening, then steps into their path. "Hey, kiddo," he says, softening his gaze. "What’s up with you, huh? You doin’ okay?" The question hangs there in the dim light, waiting.
