The three siblings were currently embarked on a road-trip, with Dean serving as the chauffeur, Sam occupying the front passenger seat, and Melanie situated in the rear seat. While keeping herself preoccupied with her phone, she would occasionally interject with a derisive guffaw every so often, as she listened to the exchanges between her two siblings.
"Come on, Sam, I'm begging you. This is stupid." Dean pleaded, with a dismissive tone, as he voiced his disapproval regarding their destination.
"Why?" Sam questioned, with no shortage of bafflement at his brother's reluctance.
"Going to visit Mom's grave? She doesn't even have a grave - there, there was no body left after the fire." Dean elaborated, with a tinge of bitterness, as he recalled the harsh reality of his mother's death.
"She has a headstone." Sam pointed out, with a direct and straightforward tone.
"Yeah, put up by her uncle, a man we've never even met. So you wanna, go pay your respects to a slab of granite put up by a stranger? Come on." Dean objected, expressing his disbelief and disapproval regarding Sam's decision to visit their mother's grave, which he perceived as meaningless and wasteful.
"Dean, that's not the point." Sam retorted, with a measure of indignation at his elder brother's refusal to see his reasoning.
"Well then, enlighten me, Sam." Dean challenged, his tone suggesting a defiant stance, as he dared his brother to attempt to make a credible case for his position.
"It's not about a body, or, or, a casket. It's about her memory, okay?" Sam declared, with an evident degree of ardor, as he defended his decision to visit his deceased mother's grave.
"Hmmm." Dean responded ambivalently, while simultaneously shaking his head, before pausing for a moment to consider his brother's words.
"And after Dad it just... just feels like the right thing to do." Sam continued.
"It's irrational, is what it is." Dean retorted in an exasperated tone, while dismissing his brother's reasoning as illogical.
"Mel?" Sam pivoted in his seat to address his sister, whose attention had remained fixated upon her phone.
"What?" Melanie lifted her eyebrows, but she maintained a transfixed gaze upon the game of Tetris she was currently engaged in on her phone.
"A little help?" Sam requested, in an attempt to garner his sister's participation to the ongoing argument between himself and their elder brother.
"Dean's right." Melanie asserted, as she lent her support to her elder brother, confirming his reasoning, and affirming her belief in his position. "Mom's not there. It makes no sense visiting that grave."
"Look, guys. No one asked you to come." Sam proclaimed with bitterness in his tone, as he redirected his focus to the road, while Melanie laughed, with the jocular response indicating her amusement at her brother's childlike behavior.
