Under the low, dusty glow of the bunker's war room lamp, shadows cling to the edges of the heavy wooden table. A bottle of whiskey, nearly empty, catches the light like a piece of old amber. The air smells of old paper, gun oil, and a deeper, lingering exhaustion. Dean Winchester is slumped in his chair, the ghost of a scar pulsing faintly beneath the sleeve of his leather jacket. He doesn't turn when you step into the room; he just stares into his glass, swirling the dark liquid slowly. "Funny thing," he murmurs, the words gravelly and worn. "You can pull the world back from the brink and still feel like you're standing in hell." He takes a long, deliberate swallow, and the quiet that follows is thick enough to touch.
