It shouldn't come as a surprise to him, really, that Dean decides to deflect and push it all away. But for a second there he'd really thought Dean was going to tell him something big.
Sam's lips pull into a tense line for a moment before he nods and tries not to sigh anymore. "Then we'll talk about this world. I can show you around the place, try to answer any questions. But honestly we're mostly still just trying to figure things out. We haven't been left any clues as to who brought us here or why. It doesn't seem malicious, but there's always that chance... especially since we were all brought here involuntarily."
He shifts on the bed, bringing his legs up to sit cross-legged so he can face Dean. It occurs to him he never actually told him his whole afterlife theory, even if it feels like Dean had probably debunked it.
"To tell you the truth, before you got here, I'd considered the possibility that maybe this is just some sort of afterlife, somewhere you go when you die. A way-station between Heaven and Hell, maybe. I asked you how it happened when I first saw you because I thought maybe you had died, too."
And he's a little unsure now whether or not he prefers a theory where Dean didn't die. Because Sam definitely had. So if they were to leave, would they be going back to the same place? Could Sam leave? Would Dean just continue to try and bring Sam back?
Honestly, the thought that Dean may have tried selling his soul for him has occurred to Sam by now. They were both pretty sure John had made some sort of exchange of himself for Dean, and they both were aware of the crossroads demon and the deals they could make. But Dean said he'd tried everything and nothing had been successful. And he was weirdly certain that nothing he had done had caused them both to end up here. All in all, it's still in his head as a possibility, one he doesn't like in the least, that maybe that's what Dean's not telling him. Even if he has his suspicions about that though, the fact that Dean has already been to Hell hasn't crossed his mind at all.
