[knowing that sam, his sam, has been open about just who his father is leaves him confused. the man had been so adamant about him not telling anybody about lucifer, had even gone as far as to say that he could call him dad instead. so why would he have changed his mind now?

...does he know that there's a part of jack that actually wants to meet lucifer?]

If he...hurts people. That's his fault. Not yours.

[okay, how to explain this...]

Where I'm from. Lucifer looks. Different. He's using someone else. So. Even if he wasn't...using you. He'd still hurt people.

[any uncertainty with his words disappears as he continues. sure, explanations may not be a strength of his. but there really is one thing he's sure of-]

You don't need to protect me, Sam. But it's okay to let me try to protect you.
