Sam in the cage - sketch - ideas please?

So I had this idea for a picture - Sam huddled in a corner of the cage with Lucifer and Michael - and so I did this pencil sketch. But now I'm not sure what to do with it next. I'd had a vague thought about making it quite dark, maybe with shadows of wings falling over him, but I don't know...
Sam in the cage
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions! Of course I don't know whether I'd be competent enough to fulfill them, but throw them in any way.

My idea would be to show somehow that he's thinking of what he's left behind... focusing on those memories to block out what's happening to him in the present. And, only because you asked for ideas, and not because I would ever presume to criticize your amazing work... his body looks a little pristine for where he's supposed to be. Maybe some dirt. sweat, blood, scars, etc?

I also love the idea with the shadow of the wings.

I haven't decided about messing him up yet - I have a head canon that most of the suffering they must have put Sam through in the Cage would have been mental rather than physical, and that his body although it was actually physically there (somehow) would be kept young and pristine. Otherwise, how did he come out the same age he went in when he was there for two centuries...?

Mmm I wonder how one could show memories in this... ponders....
