It read to me like Dean and Sam had rescued Castiel from an Academy
That's an interesting take too - I hadn't really put a ton of thought into the background of it honestly. This has made me think that I would love to try writing a story where the characters are fully in the world - Cas coming from a place like River and finding his way to Dean and Sam. That would be fun.
it had that sense of fretfulness, of Cas' disconnectedness with reality slowly healing
Yes! All of that. I love your use of the word fretfulness in describing Cas. Such a lovely comment. :)
