The home is familiar to him, but not his own. His home is in Heaven, intangible. Unseen by the living. This was his home, his vessel's. Castiel is not welcome there. A woman left by her husband, a child without a father… A life ruined by something they could not avoid. Still, the home is familiar. A television flickers behind shades; a light goes out on the second floor; a phone rings inside, and Castiel can clearly hear the conversation. All of it is familiar but not his. Castiel could never have that life. The lights flicker. He is gone.
