[Even if she doesn't know who said it. She supposes she can live with calling Dean smart, if it was him. But she appreciates Castiel steering through it, still giving her room to talk without pinning her down.]
Why do they hate you so much? You're not like, evil or anything Not that I know anything about angels
[ rip, bobby, you'll be missed. the word 'hate' is strong, and as much as cas wishes he could say he doesn't think any of them truly hate him any longer, well... that may not be exactly true. ]
I rebelled. For an angel to turn their back on their duty as the host of Heaven, abandon their brothers and sisters - it's the highest shame.
[ if she were here, he'd be giving her a fond but resigned smile. for a human, it would be that simple. angels just aren't built the same. ]
Blind loyalty and allegiance are exactly what angels were made for. We're soldiers, meant to operate like machines, programmable. Free will is a completely foreign concept to most.

Who wants a robotic yes-people around you all the time
But I mean, you ended up with free will, right?

That's... debatable, but for the most part, yes.
What you saw in my dream, that was the method used to reprogram us.

High up there
[Castiel's cries still stay with her. They would even without her memories of Joel.]
Glad you got out.

I'm sorry you had to witness it.
[ cas can handle his own nightmares, but he wishes ellie didn't have to share those with him. ]
I'm grateful you were there to free me, this time.

[She's meant it as a commentary on the bullshit he's been through, but realizes now that it sounds like something he might feel bad over.]
And getting to fight with you was beyond badass.
