Summary: Dean watches Sam and waits for the other shoe to drop.
Actions have consequences. Everyone knows that.
The bang of the door as Sam slams it behind him echoes for years in Dean's mind. Echoes that don't fade until Cold Oak, when they are replaced by a sigh, the slippery feel of warm blood on his hand, and the rain falling.
Now Dean watches Sam for signs that he isn't Sam, and ponders the ripple effect of his latest decision. Whether it will lead to another door slamming in his face, to Sam walking out on him again.
But he can't regret that his brother's still alive to do the leaving.
