Of course no stranger ever asks the giant crazy guy where all those scars are from -- but I never thought about how that would feel to Sam until you wrote it here. Sam is used to making connections with victims and survivors; the connections may be fleeting but they matter. (Maybe they are Sam's version of Dean's hookups, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.) And now he can't. So having someone reach out in the other direction would touch him deeply.
fear not

Such an interesting OC so quickly made real.
