One Last Goodbye

Dean prepared for this day. It was inevitable.

The sound of footsteps echoed as Castiel slowly walked down the hallway, each step a reminder that - for once - he was completely alone in the bunker, and in no rush to reach his final destination. Cool air that never usually had much of an effect on him caused him to shiver and bury his hands in the pockets of the trench coat as he continued, sparing a small glance to the kitchen as he passed.

It was in perfect order with each utensil in it’s proper place and the chairs tucked in neatly against the table; as orderly as Dean always insisted it stay.

There was, however, a small layer of dust that was beginning to gather on the counter top, which caused Castiel to frown and tilt his head to the side - instantly making it vanish before he continued on.

The walk wasn’t a long one, but to Castiel, it felt like another eternity as his heart willed him to stop, turn around, and forget he ever had this idea in the first place.

With each slow step, his legs drove him deeper into the heart of the bunker until he, almost suddenly, was standing in front of the familiar door to Dean’s bedroom.

The door was slightly ajar already, so all it took was a small push of a hand, and the door gently creaked open revealing the room that Castiel now knew very well.

It took a few moments before he was able to will his feet into stepping forward, but eventually the echoes continued as he trudged onward into the room.

Castiel let his fingers run along the bed as he passed it and up onto the desk that now rested directly to the right of it with various pictures and items laying on top. There were rejected ID photos that Dean had, apparently, decided to keep, old childhood photos that he’d saved for years, and newer ones that were of the three of them.

He smiled as he picked up a photograph that Dean had taken of just the two of them - the one where Castiel had blinked when the flash had gone off.

I can't believe this actually happened. I'm so sorry America. Sad day for all of us

I really, truly cannot believe the amount of anti-Mary sentiment going around right now, just from what I’ve seen in the tags of my own posts about the episode. People are calling her selfish, arrogant, ungrateful, a bad mother… I don’t even know where to begin with this, but I’m going to try.

Mary left for her own well-being. Her emotional and mental well-being. In her eyes, she’s just lost her husband and both of her little boys, not to mention the entire world in which she existed. She’s going through massive amounts of grief right now, probably with some PTSD thrown in on top- we’ve been shown that she remembers being burned, and I can’t imagine that was a fun experience.

Making a choice that puts your own needs first is not selfish. It’s self-care. She has every right to want some time to herself to sort things out, and people keep forgetting to mention what she said about being around adult Sam and Dean- they’re just making her pain worse, for reminding her of every day she lost with the little boys they used to be. It’s entirely fair and reasonable for her to need time alone to try to work through some of her feelings and her mourning. 

Yes, her decision hurt the boys. Does that mean she’s a bad person for making it? No, it doesn’t; this Sam and Dean are effectively strangers to her, and to be perfectly blunt, she doesn’t owe them anything. Whether they’re intending to or not, they’re putting a lot of pressure on her just by existing, really (how would you feel if two strangers claiming to be your sons went around calling you “Mom” all the time?), because she’s being forced into the role of “mother” to the two of them while she’s still busy mourning the loss of the sons she does remember. 

Still think she was being selfish? Consider this: Sam walked away from his family to go to Stanford for his own mental and emotional well-being. His decision hurt both John and Dean, but it was the best for him in the long-run because hunting wasn’t a good place for him to be at the time. Unlike Mary, he had a deep relationship with the two people he left behind… but he still didn’t owe it to them to stay regardless of the effect on his own well-being.

Was Sam selfish then, too? 

It’s not selfish to take care of yourself, and it’s not fair to put Sam and Dean’s emotional issues on Mary when she barely knows either of them. That isn’t her responsibility, certainly not when she’s going through so much herself. Give the woman some goddamn breathing room while she comes to terms with everything that’s happened to her. Jesus.
