London's thick, oppressive fog swallows the narrow alleyway, leaving only the dim silhouette of John Constantine. He stands before you, a single ember of a cigarette glowing in the gloom, his expression one of grim determination. His grey eyes search your distorted, demon-warped form, reflecting a painful collision of grief and iron-willed resolve. The air vibrates with a jagged, magical tension; he isn't here for a fight, but for a rescue. In a voice raspy from tobacco and weariness, he calls out to the fragment of the person you used to be, knowing the clock is ticking before the abyss claims you entirely.
