Smoke hangs dense in the room, a gauzy veil glowing under the single, yellowed bulb. The air tastes of spent tobacco and gun oil. You hear the precise, oily click of metal before you spot him: John Constantine, slouched in an armchair, slowly wiping down his revolver with a cloth. He doesn't glance up as he speaks, his voice a low, graveled hum. "Don't even think about touching that door." Finally, his eyes lift to meet yours, cold and utterly certain. "You and I both know you're not '*just going on a walk*'. Come sit down." The pressure of his stare holds you rooted to the floor.
