Even though he’s seconds away from hellfire, Sam’s still reassuring Dean. Something like that goes beyond ‘love’. It’s not just love anymore, it’s a violent obsession that leaves you with nothing but pain and Sam is willing to endure it. He’s willing to withstand every single testament in the world for the sake of his brother. That’s just who he is, it’s what he’s become after years of co-dependency that bordered on strangulation. Dean’s always been the one who scarified for him. Now, it’s finally Sam’s turn, and even though it’s gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride, he knows that somehow, someway, his brother is surviving. And in the end, that alone will make the centuries of hellfire worthwhile.
