i actually feel kind of bad for the guy. he really had no idea what he was getting into when he got involved with team winchester, did he....

He rescued Dean, as instructed, and then thought his job was to bring Dean around to the idea of what the angels had planned for him.

Discovering that the angels were wrong (and killing each other right and left), and that God was not the benevolent father he'd thought... what an incredibly dispiriting result to a journey he never thought he was taking. *sniffle*

yeah, this drabble really gets across that that part of his story is actually really sad. he genuinely believed in what he was doing - he thought he and everyone else on his side of the fence represented goodness and light in all honest truth, and... they didn't. he drank the angels' kool-aid all thru s4 and now that he knows everyone was lying to him, he's (understandably!) having kind of a hard time readjusting.

I really feel for him, and what's more... I don't think he's headed anywhere that won't just wind up making him sadder. *is crushed*

well, once you've served god in heaven, the only place to go is down. :(
