"It's not demons I'm worried about," Sam said quietly, "it's her. Think about what she went through." Sam cautiously looked over to Ruby. "Most angry spirits are born from violent deaths. I think it's more than safe to say that her death was unpleasant." He didn't want to deprive the girls family of proper burial rights, but Sam didn't want to condemn them to a life of torture and potential tragedy if their daughter or wife or sister or whoever this was happened to come back as a violent spirit. "I'd like to hand her off to her family more than anything in the world..." Sam uncomfortably looked in the direction of the body. "But we can't. We can't leave anything behind. Was there anything personal on her?" Sam looked over at Ruby, frowning slightly. "A wallet? ID? Anything that they can use to identify her when they find the remains?" He wasn't going to spare any parts. Not even a tooth. Sam knew that it all had to go, otherwise he was leaving someone at risk. Even after raising Lucifer from the pit, Sam was still trying to play by the rules. He was a hunter at heart. He had to.
Of course, Sam didn't necessarily bother sticking to every rule. As the demon before him reached for his face, Sam didn't cringe or retaliate in anger - he leaned into her touch, eyes squeezing shut at the simple gesture. Ruby was being forgiving. God, Sam couldn't understand why she would even want to - but she was. For that, Sam found he was more than grateful. He didn't have the strength to stand there and watch her walk away. That would have been the last of him left. Sam would have been nothing with her gone. He'd have had nothing because God only knew how much Sam had left after all the terrible things that he had done. "Okay," Sam said in an uneven voice, reaching for the hand that covered his cheek. He dragged her fingers to his mouth and kissed them, then grabbed her hand and pulled her close. He didn't need to say it. As Sam looked across at Ruby, the look he gave her spoke for him: thank you. He needed her. She was his strength and if he was to go on after this, Sam was going to need her.
