I threw it away for you. I dealt with Crowley to save this world you loved.
[Cas lowers his hand, but the wind and rain still doesn't touch either Castiel or Dean, leaving them in a bubble of frigid serenity.]
The being you see before you, I became for you. Always for you, Dean Winchester. Everything.
But I see now that my...'heart' was in the wrong place. I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on one single, fallible man. Protecting you, giving everything for you brought me nothing but hardship and agony. Now, I can do what I was created to do; maintain order. I can take up the mantle left behind by an absent Father, one your species curses and calls upon with such frequency that there's never a moment of peace. I will free my brothers of the burden of a concept they cannot understand, and of the responsibility of looking after a world so steeped in darkness it can barely breathe.
I'm stepping into the shoes no one wanted to fill, Dean, and I will restore the peace this world so desperately needs. Judge me for it, if you will, but I am far above your judgment now, Dean.
