[ He should hold some sympathy for him, but Castiel can't be bothered with that right now. He takes in his entire demeanor and feels his resolve for all of this strengthen. If Dean is feeling low, he will pick him up. One thing that can be said about being here is that it's changed his perspective, the outcomes of the things around him, and he isn't going to allow Dean the luxury of slipping away from him again.
