Dean spends hours looking at his father's journal. Not reading, just looking; running his fingers over spattered blood and yellowed pages.
and
Dean almost breaks in Ohio.
Sam's in a hospital after a hunt gone bad.
Dean hears the voicemail before he realizes what he's done.
Its six days and four states before Dean looks like himself again.
superb characterization.
Sam checks their P.O. Boxes in Nevada.
There's a letter from Dad in both Sam and Dean's.
They sleep in the truck that night, even though they have money for a room.
as is this.
i still call my mom's house on days that i know she won't be home because, 3 years on, she still hasn't changed the answering machine message and i get to hear my stepdad's voice when it rings through.
