Summary: What is going on in Sam's head behind his carefully constructed façade of "coping"
Hallucifer loved playing games.
Chess, for instance. A strategist with a long term view, he could move his pieces slowly and wait to see his plans come to wonderful fruition.
Dean's knight to Roman's bishop. Bobby's castle taken and destroyed. That was a particularly satisfactory one. The grief in Sam's heart kept him fuelled for days; weeks even. And seeing Dean's pain was even more delicious.
Of course Sam grumbled and protested and tried to believe it was nothing to do with the Devil in his head, but Hallucifer just laughed.
"You always were a sore loser, Sammy-boy." He smiled.
