`` Masel... That's not an easy question to answer.'' Cas heaved himself onto the ground into a cross-legged position, struggling to control his center of gravity. He put his hands across his mouth and nose and let out a painful breath. `` A-a monster is-wait, no, you-you are the only one who can decided that. People like me and your mother went about our lives doing what we thought was *right*. I killed people and she... she took people's lives away in other ways, depriving them of their chance to become what they wanted.'' Cas paused, his eyes looking up at his desperate niece, glassy from tears beginning to form. `` We were so wrong to do what we did... But no, no Masel, you are not a monster, even even if your mother gave you horns, you are not.''
