Dean has always physically moved into Mary’s touch. Every time he’s encountered any version of her throughout the show, he’s leaned into her affection like an abused and touch-starved puppy, but tonight.

Tonight.

He moved away from her. She moved to comfort him after saying she was going to leave, and he physically backed away. He couldn’t even look her in the eye, let alone let her touch him, and I just…

He must have been so close to breaking. Right on the edge of breaking down right there in front of her as she made the decision to walk away from him. Dean is a very tactile person, and to see him actively refuse physical comfort is just… painfully telling.

That was some amazing acting on Jensen’s part. The averted eyes, the tension in his body, the measured breathing. You could practically feel his heart breaking.
