Summary: A man wakes up in a ruined wasteland, without memories, without a name, without knowing the strange guy who claims he used to be an angel, or that he once had a little brother. All he knows is that the world is dying, everyone is lying to him and that somehow, somewhere, something went terribly wrong. Because someone said Yes when they should have said No, and someone else paid the price.

He’d once promised Sam he wouldn’t lie to him.

Once again, your comment made my (work-)day!

I'm really happy how Jena worked out. I've been trying to drop tiny little hints without being too obvious. Just so that upon second reading everyone would see it, but miss it the first time.
There'll be more of her/him, too, in the second act.
It's a bit difficult to write him, though, because he's not human and not quite who he was at the end of his life in canon because things that defined him and influenced his desicions never happened. I'll get into that later.

Dean is about to reach a turning point - quite literally. I'm not telling you which direction he'll turn in, though. :P

Sam's pretty much reached the end of his rope. I can't even blame him.

By the way, when Cas thought about failing, he meant Dean, not himself. You're not the only one who got that wrong, though, which made me realise I worded it wrong. I'm going to edit that.

Are you going to feel better when I tell you that you're going to absolutely hate the ending of the next chapter?
Probably not...

Nope, not feeling better!! In fact I'm feeling even more scared because your know pretty well my tastes and if you say that it can only mean there is even more suffering for Sam ahead. That or Dean is going to turn for the worse decide not to try to bring him back to life either (please Dean I still have faith in the real you, don't crush it) or... I don't know... but I know it will be something terrible and heartbreaking!

Jena worked out incredibly well, you managed exactly what you were looking for because the clues were there all the time!! but still it was impossible to see for me until it was obvious.

The last sentence (now that I understand it, sigh) it's even more heartbreaking since I see that it's the turning point from Cas, in which he understand the old Dean better than ever but precisely what he did becomes even more unforgivable.

Sam at the end of his rope... *sob*

By the way, I don't see if you have seen the Season 7 preview, or any of the ComiCon or E!Online interviews? but it seems we can look forward to a lot Sam's suffering and dealing with the memories of hell! You were worried that Cas was going to fix it on the first chapter, but it seems finally we will be able to see what we were all hoping for in season 6 but never happened!!

Yes, I've seen the previews. I'm very exited about them! Finally, some suffering for Sam! (Okay, that sounds just awful.) I'm very much looking foreward to season 7 - other than what seems like most of the fandom but is probably just a very, very loud fraction of Castiel fans. (The "Everything has gone to shit and I'll never watch this again" kind.)
