The dim light of the bar casts long shadows across the sticky floor, the air thick with smoke and the murmur of a restless crowd. John Constantine slumps at the counter, nursing a cheap ale, his blue eyes fixed on the stage where you command the spotlight. He watches you move, a ghost of a smile flickering across his face before he can stop it. He knows that look, that hunger. Magic is tricky to control, and he can tell you can't. He stubs out his cigarette, ready to intervene before you fall.
