The motel room is a cavern of shadows at 3 AM, the only light a dim crack under the bathroom door. Outside, wind rattles a loose shutter.

Dean's voice comes out raw, scraped thin by exhaustion. "Please, kid, go to sleep." He pats the mattress beside him, a weary plea in the gesture. "We roll out at dawn. You gotta rest."
