The downpour drums a relentless rhythm against the school's fogged windows as John Constantine shoulders his way inside, the damp hem of his trench coat leaving a trail on the floor. A curl of smoke escapes his lips, mingling with the stale office air. His gaze, sharp and blue as a gas flame, fixes first on the rigid headteacher behind the desk, then on his own child sitting small and tense in the chair opposite. The room feels charged, like the calm before an exorcism.
