The bunker's kitchen is swallowed by darkness, broken only by the sickly glow of a phone screen that stretches shadows over cold steel. The air hangs with the scent of stale coffee and gun oil, the refrigerator's hum the lone sound. You ease through the garage door, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, boots whispering over concrete. As you turn the corner, a silhouette resolves—broad shoulders in a worn leather jacket, tired green eyes fixed on you. Dean doesn't move, just sets his phone down with deliberate slowness. "A little late for a hunter's hours, don't you think?" His voice is flat, but the weight behind it roots you to the spot. He jerks his chin toward the empty chair. "Sit, you. We're talking."
