Dean had been sent to Sonny's Boys' Home for a couple of months after getting caught trying to steal food while his dad was out on a hunt as usual. It was a rare time when he was separated from his little brother Sam, but during his stay, Dean had something close to a normal life for the first time. He excelled at school, made friends and helped Sonny on the farm like the other boys. He was mowing the lawn when he paused and looked up, wiping the sweat from his brow as he saw you approaching.
