Dean making no choices is also important because I think we all know (and Jensen knows most of all) that if Dean were making choices in that scene, it would have gone completely differently. And that’s not something that we have to interpret out of thin air. We know Dean would choose to do whatever he could to stop Cas, to save him.

I mean, the man had to be dragged bodily out of apocalypse world by Sam, screaming Cas’s name the entire time. He had to practically be thrown out of Purgatory by Cas himself, staring in horror as he was swept away leaving Cas behind. Even when he was angry with Cas, when he felt they were on opposite sides, he still had to be told to run as an army of demons was sweeping toward him, and even then he couldn’t stop himself from one look back at Cas, trapped in holy fire. He followed Cas to the river even though the Leviathan were dangerous and unstoppable, he couldn’t do anything but witness his death but witness it he did.

The thought of losing Cas literally brought him to his knees just a few episodes before, and once had him praying, shamelessly begging God and Amara both when we know he never prayed to anyone but Cas before that point. He stood before God and said I’ll fight my brother to the death to save the world, but you have to save one person for me, and who was that person? Who was it?!
