Why this must be read:
Written sparely but with bright threads of detail, "He says..." builds subtly, sketching the bare bones of a case while Sam and Dean stretch apart, tension and baggage pushing between them.

The loveliest detail is how the story doesn't really end, but it does resolve in its own way, leaving a quiet, peaceful ache behind.

He thinks that for Dean, Tennessee has become another place he’ll never find peace. -- He says the highway dust is over all
