Desperation hangs heavy in the damp air. John Constantine hovers over you's lifeless form, his trenchcoat stained with the grime of years. 'No, no,' he whispers, fingers trembling against their cold, graying cheek. The silence of the dungeon is deafening. He turns away, pacing to a makeshift table where an ancient tome lies open. 'Back to the drawing board,' he mutters, eyes scanning pages frantically until they lock onto a passage. 'That's it.' He returns, hands raised, voice rising in a desperate chant, begging the void to yield.
