Japan, really? Why Japan? Though Japan was pretty average compared to Dean's thing about...time machines. Unless Scott, too, had stumbled upon a time machine in Japan. Anything was entirely possible. For a split second, Sam thought Scott'd said that he had, in fact, seen Godzilla during his detour to Japan. He blinked once before it clicked that no, that wasn't what Scott had said.
He cleared his throat, found that he was still holding the book, and put it on the table. "Actually, yeah, I did. Both of us, I was with my roommate. Not as far as Japan though, we landed—we ended up in Illinois."
Sam really wasn't gonna get more specific than that. Makeshift grave site, yeah, no.
Scott looked like there was something more he wanted to add, but maybe he just had no idea what else to say. Sam could sympathize. There were certain situations where the bare facts simply spoke for themselves. Not much embellishment to add to it. I walked through a door and found myself in Tokyo kind of fell under that category.
"So this guy you were with, he was from Japan? As in, you were in a location familiar to him?"
Because the familiarity obviously wasn't coming from Scott. It had to be the person he'd been traveling with, then. And okay, Sam only had a couple of situations to work off of here, but he had a feeling he wasn't off track in presuming that at least one person had a personal connection to wherever the entire group warped to. It was true for him and Peter, for instance. For Dean and "the doctor," as his brother had referred to him, too.
So was it just one more way to screw with them all? Dean's grave site had been pretty frigging specific. Sam had buried Dean there with the intention that it wasn't a grave you could just stumble on or find easily. There was a reason you didn't leave a body intact if you help it. Sam knew the risk he was taking by burying Dean instead of cremating the body. Keeping it out of the way was the best he could do. The last thing he needed was a grieving parent or lover messing around in a cemetery to bring their beloved back to life and accidentally raising his brother as a zombie in the process. Most people toying with an occult text tended not to know the difference between a real resurrection and a mere reanimation of the corpse.
