Dean won't meet his gaze. Reluctant and distant. Hurt and hiding.
Shirtless, he submits to Sam's treatment. He looks tired. Defeated.
Sam knows the emotional hurt of the rock salt caused far more damage than the physical.
He wants to take it back. Knows he can't.
Bruises are forming, tender and dark.
Dean winces. Lashes flutter, sweeping low.
Sam rests his open hand over Dean's heart. Skin to warm skin.
Feels the beat of his brother's life, and the sudden stillness in his soul.
Reads the mark of pain he's wrought. Lets touch say what his voice cannot.
"I'm sorry."
