Summary: "It was hard to outrun much of anything when you could hardly force yourself to put one foot in front of the other anymore. Especially when at any moment you could very well be stumbling into something that could finally break you..." Coda to "Heart," in which Dean desperately tries to fix something that can't be fixed in the only ways he knows how--in this case, booze, Doritos, and a whole lot of concern.

He looked up at Dean. His eyes were bright; he looked sad and dazed and confused and…well, a bit like a helpless three-year-old. "She's dead," he repeated. "I killed her."
