Oh god I am now a sobbing mess! Fucking christ I'm extrordinarily happy that you really made John leave. And while he saw it as the right thing, he is 'the bad guy' for EVER, in Sam Dean Bobby and Reggie's minds. And that's everything, I think. Excellent chapter. You've dealt with what should have been a horrendously difficult set of loose strings rather effortlessly, it seems. Every chapter I anticipate and dread for fear of the story finally being over!
