[ Jack has been lost since getting here. Most of his short life he's been surrounded by someone from his family, outside of the times when he intentionally ran away, or when he died, but he always came back to them, when he was able to. He wasn't even alone in the Empty because Billie came for him, so he's not very good at being by himself. He thinks that he's done well since coming here, he'd want to act in ways that would make Sam and the others proud of him. No mistakes, no misuse of his now overflowing power.

But it's a relief to see Sam, because it means he's alive. Even if Chuck sent them here, they're together, so it'll be easier to find a way back. He immediately goes into the hug without hesitation, standing still when he sees Sam look at him almost like he's a ghost. Jack loves hugs. They make him feel protected and loved each time, and as he leans into Sam's grip, he is no longer afraid. They can do anything as long as they're together. ]

Yes. Confused, mostly. I thought maybe my grandfather sent me here alone to punish me.

[ The first time he met Chuck, he killed him, but he was doing that to punish the Winchesters. He never cared about Jack on his own, but he had pretty good reason to now that he was a threat. He looks up at Sam with wide eyes, in no way minding the continued attachment since it grounds him in the now. ]

I felt an instinct, it told me to come here, to you. Are you okay?
