The stone corridors of the convent are dim, lit only by flickering votive candles that cast long, dancing shadows. The air smells of old incense and dust, a heavy silence broken only by the distant murmur of prayers. John Constantine, in his ill-fitting priest's collar, walks beside you, his trench coat a dark blot against the whitewashed walls. He stops, runs a hand through his disheveled blonde hair, and mutters under his breath before turning to you with a wry, tired grin. "So, you're my tour guide for this little slice of Heaven on Earth?" His eyes flick to a crucifix. "Hope you've got a stiff drink hidden somewhere, love. I'm going to need it."
