"I'm sorry. This isn't a problem I can make disappear. You know that." Cas glanced at Dean, then away. Angel eyes were all-seeing; he knew the devastation in Dean's eyes, felt the utter despair in the soul that he'd yanked from Perdition over four years ago.

His righteous man had shown Cas true self-sacrifice, loyalty and familial love. Dean deserved to have hope—and a brother he could rely on at his side. Both Winchesters did.

"Damn straight." Cas heard Bobby's spirit echoing his thoughts.

"But I may be able to shift it." He approached Sam, determined to fix him.
