@Flutter - Emery has had an awful past.. in a way, she's still living in it or at least under the weight of it. But that's made her who she is... even hone her skills. As for Dean being oblivious to other people's pain, I kinda have to disagree here. I think he does feel others' pain, he just doesn't show that he does often. Just like he never shows his pain either. Remember the whole wounded soldier conversation with Bobby? He knew that Bobby was hurting. And as L mentioned about him crying when Sam goes to kill Madison. Yes, he may initially be a little hard on people he meets for the first time (ex. Castiel, Henry) but as he gets to know them, he understands them and feels for them. Another reason behind Dean's tear was that he could empathize with Emery... as I mentioned in the update too. He was remembering the time he spent thinking Sam was dead and that brought a whole lot of pain up front.
As always, thanks so much for your comments!
@Sayanti - Aww thanks so much, love! Don't worry! I tend to be less and less online when things get hectic.. it's just that.. don't worry at all :)
Thanks sooo much for your comments!! I'm gonna try and not let them get to my head 😳hahaha.. but really, I appreciate them! And as for Dean, as I was explaining to Flutter, I don't think he's really oblivious.. yes, sometimes he is so caught up with his own turmoil that he doesn't realize what others are going through but it's not always true.. a lot of time he does empathize, he just doesn't show it. And especially for people he works with, he develops a certain bond with them... like Jo and Ellen, and he certainly feels for them. This is another way of showing that Dean and Emery are beginning to understand each other and getting past the whole hostility thing.
@L - Exactly! Loved the way you explained it!!!
@beyonddarkness - Thank you soo much!
