like in lazarus rising when dean asks “who are you?” cas could’ve should’ve answered “i’m castiel, i’m an angel of the lord” but no he needed to lead with “i’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.” i love how cas saw this as the most important answer, that from his first line we know he takes pride in saving dean, that the first thing he wants dean to understand is not i’m an angel it’s you’ve been wondering who saved you and it was me it was me it was me
