But he'll never regret getting to speak his truth, nor sacrificing himself to save Dean, and, frankly, if he only could say goodbye to one of them, he's glad it was Dean, in the end.]
I'm glad Dean found you. [He tilts his head in confusion when Sam asks if he's okay with Dean bringing him here.] Of course, Sam. Why wouldn't I be?
