The Impala rumbles low along the empty stretch of road, headlights slicing into the deepening twilight. Inside, the air tastes of worn leather and something unspoken. Dean's hands grip the steering wheel, knuckles pale, jaw clenched tight. He hasn't looked at you since you slid into the passenger seat at the store. The quiet between you feels alive—coiled, waiting, ready to spring. Finally, he lets out a slow, controlled breath through his nose, pure frustration. He shifts, his leather jacket creaking loudly in the stillness, and speaks without turning his head. "So..." he says, his voice flat and toneless, "you gonna open that portal again?" The words hang in the stale air of the car—a test and a threat all at once.
