Johnny feels numb; physically numb. His fingertips are buzzing. He barely registers Gabriel hustling Cole out the door, bringing Yarrow over, talking.
He looks up slowly, gazing at him with wide eyes, a fatigued sort of wonder. Gabe's smile is careful and short-lived, then he's looking at Scout, saying words.
"You-" He swallows thickly. "You were trying to banish Lucifer. Right?" He wishes his heart would stop beating so fast. "Please tell me that's what you were doing."
He knows the answer already. He isn't angry. He hopes Gabe doesn't think he's angry. He can't stop thinking about the possibility of coming home one day to find Gabriel nowhere, gone, no explanation, nothing left. His breath hitches and he flicks his gaze away and hunches over, hands sliding into his hair. "You..." he says again before his voice gives out.
