"What are you most worried about?" the fan asks.

"It feels crazy saying this... But I don't want to lose this family. I've finally found a place to belong here, and I don't want to lose that," Ross says.

"You're not going to. We'll always be here for you," Hailee wraps an arm around his shoulders, "As for me... I'm scared of losing... Anyone. A lot of people have come to me for help, and I just... Every time someone tells me they're struggling, I can feel the terror rise. I'm terrified of letting them down, of them not being safe."

Max lifts a mic, "I'm a bit worried about Hailee and Ross, they're in a couple rough spots. My main focus has been I guess pretty much the same as Dean's. I'm pretty focused on my little brother, making sure he stays safe and happy and grows up right. Will?"

"What?"

"What are you scared of?" Max smiles.

"There's a really big spider in Max's room..."

Max laughs, "But he's fuzzy and really cool!"

Hailee smirks, "Just as long as he doesn't turn out to a she, escape the cage, and lay eggs somewhere."

Ross raises an eyebrow, "You sound like you speak from experience."

Hailee grins, "My brother had a lot of fun pets."
