[As a matter of fact, he doesn't know Sam or Dean Winchester. It's possible he's heard of them over the network a time or two, because the names don't seem completely unfamiliar, but Wash knows for certain that he's never met any monster hunters. Maybe something to look into another time. Or, maybe something to avoid, because he's not so sure he wants to know any gritty details about monsters that actually happen to be real things...
All he does is nod in acknowledgement, rather that raising the few questions that come to mind, because he can see the shock that seems to hit Adam with his apology. From what he can tell, it's completely unexpected, which...is unexpected in itself. Surely someone's said something to him? Someone must have given him some sort of apology for everything he's been through?
Apparently not. When Adam speaks then, Wash's eyebrows raise. For something like that, you'd expect someone would care. Someone should hate that he went through what he did! The idea that something like that could go completely thankless is...astounding, not to mention completely awful. It's information that he's not sure what to do with, and it leaves him a bit shaken. If something like that happened to him...his friends would be there, right? His teammates, they'd want to make sure he's okay, they'd want to apologize. He's sure of it. Maybe Adam just...was unlucky with who he got stuck with.]
Well, it's hard to think that anyone belongs in a mental ward while we're all stuck in Wonderland. [A joke, meant to lighten some of the tension, but it's weak. The smile Wash puts on is a bit strained, but he shakes his head and gives Adam an honest look.] I think you deserve more than that, for the record. I don't want to get sappy or anything here, but what happened to you... I don't know any details, but it sounds to me like you deserve more, especially if a "sorry" is more than you get anywhere else.
[A shrug. As he continues, he takes on a lighter tone, the suggestion legitimate, but maybe a bit silly:]
Maybe go to the Dining Hall and have a nice feast all to yourself. If anyone asks, just tell them you went through hell to get here. Might as well get something enjoyable out of it.
