It was a different room in the Giant's memories. River approached Sam in the corner. He had his head in his arms and his arms on his knees.
"Sam?" River sat next to him.
"He promised he wouldn't hurt him." Sam whispered. "Promised he wouldn't kill him. So why is he there?"
Rivet looked up slowly. Across from them was a wide window. A light was flickering over one corner. Over the green lawn was a house. Inside they could see a family having dinner. There was a man, a woman, and a little boy.
"He won't harm a hair on Dean's head but he'll kill them. He'll kill Lisa and Ben. He'll make Dean miserable."
"Dean?" She couldn't read his mind from within the mindscape.
"My older brother. He did so much. I tried to make a deal with the Devil. I tried to keep him imprisoned. All so Dean could have a life. Now he's going to use my hands to destroy my brother without touching him."
"But you're still here!" River exclaimed. "You can fight him!"
"Why does it matter to you...?" He looked up slowly, hazel eyes scared. River met his eyes and embraced him slowly. "I don't know. The powers that be decided I should help you. Now we're connected. Maybe we've always been connected but couldn't tell. I'm here now. I'll find you."
