PURGATORY

Dean finally regains consciousness to find all the Leviathan Blossoms destroyed by fire.

"No." he looks around, and is alone, "Cas? Cas!" Dean Says

SAM'S VISION

Sam loads a gun. The date is November 3, 2021, 11:42:38 AM. Again, Real Sam is forced to watch.

"What are you doing? Come on, man. We just got back." Dean Says

"I-If we don't hustle, the nest'll move on." Sam Says

"No, Sam. It doesn't matter." Dean Says

"What are you saying?" Sam Asks

"What I've been trying to say for months. It's time... time to stand down." Dean Says

"You want to quit? What's happened to you, Dean? ever since–" Sam Says

"Ever since what? We lost pretty much everyone we've ever cared about? I lost Lena and Wren, they're gone!" He tries not to cry, "Ever since the Mark made Cas go crazy? Ever since I had to bury him in a Ma'lak box? Ever since then? Yeah. You know why? 'Cause the monsters they're everywhere, Everywhere!" Dean Says

"Dean." Sam Says

"No Sam what we do it's not even Hunting anymore. It's whack-a-mole. We don't even save people. Every friend we've ever had is either dead, or they got wise and they packed it in." Dean Says

"Jody's still fighting, and Bobby-" Sam Says

"Bobby has a death wish, and you know it. And Jody ever since what happened to Donna and the girls, she does, too. And after Corinna...so do you." Dean Says

"No. What happened to Butch and Sundance? Dean, what happened to going out swinging?" Sam Says

"We lost, brother. We lost. I'm done." Dean Says

"No, no, no. Dean...Dean!" Sam Says

Dean walks out with tears in his eyes, and Real Sam is incredulous.

"This is a lie. Chuck, I know what you're doing. Chuck?!" Sam Says

"Enjoying the show?" Chuck Says

"You're just showing me this so I give up, so I lose hope." Sam Says

"I'm just the messenger, Sam. I'm sharing my omniscience with you." Chuck Says

"No, the Dean I know...the Dean who raised me he'd never give up, no matter how bad things got." Sam Says

"Well, he does. He will. This is the truth, Sam. This is what comes next." Sam Says

THE BUNKER

In real time Elena is looking down at her watch which reads 00:30:45, then glances over at the rift which is fading just a bit.

"Come on guys, hurry up." Elena Says

PURGATORY

Dean wanders around in the woods, alone, desperately trying to find Castiel.

"Cas!" Dean checks his phone. The time remaining is 00:29:54, "No, no, no." He looks around and then speaks quietly in prayer, "Cas? Cas, I hope you can hear me...that wherever you are, it's not too late. I should've stopped you. You're my best friend, but I just let you go. 'Cause it was easier than admitting I was wrong." He breaks down, sniffles, and then kneels at the base of the tree, "I-Ohh. I don't know why I get so angry. I just know..I know that it-i-it's just always been there. And when things go bad, it just it comes out. And I can't-I can't stop it. No matter ho-how bad I want to, I just can't stop it.
And–And I–I forgive you. Of course I forgive you. I'm sorry it took me so long, I'm sorry it took me till now to say it. Cas, I'm-I'm so sorry. Man, I hope you can hear me. I hope you can hear me. Okay." Dean Says, wiping his tears away and keeps on moving.
