It's like a switch is flipped. Literally. Everything about him seems different. Two seconds ago he was mindless, dangerous, and now... Now he's just Cas.

"What the fuck's goin' on?" I ask, and maybe it's stupid, but I crawl toward him, because I know him, I trust him, and it's hard for me to fathom ever really being afraid of him.

Still, I don't just launch myself at him for a fuckin' hug and an apology. I go cautiously, watching for any indication of that caged-animal look in his eyes.
