I can't properly express my love for this story. It's just... perfect. Sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
Poor Sammy, drugged and hurt, it's no wonder he would have an anxiety attack in there!! Your depiction of his slow freaking out is simply amazing... how he tries to be strong but cannot really trust what's real and what's only in his mind... And how he starts believing he probably did something to deserve being locked up again, as in the previous times...
I also loved the bits of Dean freaking out too. I bet it was painful for him to see sam trying to apologize for nothing (knowing Dean he must feel guilty as hell too). The last conversation was beautiful, Dean said exactly what he had to say, it's a perfect bonding moment between the brothers.
By the way, this sentence -> But then he remembers that his mind never does play nice tricks on him <- it's 100% Sam, and totally broke my heart.
