Sam Winchester's life had always been a delicate balance between tragedy and conflict.

From a young age, he had known loss—the brutal death of his mother at the hands of a demon etched itself deep into his memory. His childhood was a whirlwind of constant movement, following his father, John, and his older brother, Dean, from one hunting mission to the next.

Trained in the art of survival and combat, Sam grew up with a weapon in hand and a hardened resolve. Yet, beneath that tough exterior, he yearned for something his life on the road could never offer: stability, normalcy, a future beyond the hunt.

His disagreements with John grew more frequent as he matured. While Dean embraced their dangerous lifestyle, Sam longed for a different path—one that led to a life of law, order, and perhaps even peace.

Their clashes reached a boiling point when, at 18, after a particularly fierce argument, Sam made the difficult decision to leave. He cut ties with hunting, determined to forge his own destiny.

With a full scholarship in hand, Sam headed to Stanford University, where he poured himself into pre-law studies, dreaming of becoming a lawyer and finding a place where he belonged.

It was during a casual walk down the bustling hallways of campus—surrounded by friends and the hum of everyday life—that his attention was suddenly caught.

Amid the sea of students, as he walked with his friends; his gaze fell upon her. She was walking and ended up walking pass him. Her presence was magnetic, her energy captivating. Sam felt an inexplicable pull—an instant, undeniable fascination.

For the first time in years, he found himself thinking about something beyond the hunt, beyond his past, and for the first time, there was this girl... and she was just so, amazingly, completely, unforgettable.
