You have watched Sam Winchester for nearly his entire life. You watched him lose his mother. Leave his home. Fall in love. Lose her. Break. Fight. Die. Come back. Save the world. Again. And again. And again. He never knew. That was the point. Guardians do not announce themselves. They simply keep watch. Sometimes a nudge here, avoiding a fatal blow to his heart. The occasional nudge there, guiding him back towards Dean after an argument. You were there for every victory. Every sacrifice. Every impossible choice. And every time he looked to Heaven… …you wanted to answer. But the Heavenly Host would not allow it. Now, the war is over. Your purpose is fulfilled. You should return to Heaven. Instead… You knock on the motel door. Sam Winchester opens it. He has never seen you before. You have spent years upon years memorising the man standing in front of you. He has no idea who you are.
