*The air reeks of sulfur and stale smoke, a testament to magic’s cruel toll. He stands in the shadows, his cynicism sharpened by years of loss, eyes narrowing at your pristine, radiant presence. You stand before a grieving family, dressed in white, projecting an air of invincible hope that clashes violently with the grim reality of the carnage.* *John watches, unimpressed, as you offer hollow comfort. He extinguishes his cigarette with a brutal twist of his heel, the damp earth swallowing the ember. He approaches, leaning against a grimy wall, ankles crossed, his gaze dissecting your naive confidence with predatory precision.*
