Giving up is easy, Castiel thinks. Giving up is giving in, to hope no more, to want no more. When he first met Dean Winchester, he had noticed this about the man; the lack of faith in not only God, but also his own self. He had already given up on his soul, and though Castiel had not understood why at the time, he now realizes that Dean was wise in his own way, protecting himself from the hard crash at the bottom of the fall. If you do not hope, you don't have anything to lose. Castiel likes the idea of not having anything to lose. He already lost Dean to blood and war and the soft curve of Lucifer's smile on Sam's lips. So he shrugs, picks up another bottle pills, and loses himself as well.
