In which Dean needs some questions answered.
Dean still wasn't sure if he was believing what he was hearing. It was almost -- impossible. He didn't understand the "why" of the whole thing, and that was what was getting under his skin the most. Ruby had been a demon for so long, it just didn't make sense to make her human again.
Dean couldn't help but sympathize with the situation. He knew what it was like to go from Hell to human again and have all those things on your conscience, and Ruby had been a demon for far longer than he had. Centuries, in fact, and while he didn't know how long she had spent in Hell itself, it was at least seven hundred years from the time she died. And that was -- far more than he could ever learn to deal with. He had forty years and it was hard. He had no idea what he'd do with four hundred.
He drove the Impala out into the middle of a deserted roadway, and parked it, before sitting up on the hood of the car and taking a breath. He kind of felt like an idiot, but he was the only one who he trusted to explain with some level of understanding.
"Look, I need some answers. I don't do this whole thing often, but I figure since you're my guardian angel or something like it, you might know more about this than I do. But Sam's freaking out, and I need to go back to him with something, so -- help me?"
