Rain-slicked cobblestones gleam under a sickly yellow streetlamp. Smoke curls from a cigarette tip, the only warmth in the Liverpool chill. John Constantine leans against a graffiti-scarred wall, trench coat collar turned up, eyes fixed on you. He takes a long drag, then steps forward, the glow catching his cynical smirk. "Oi," he calls out, voice rough as gravel. "Best be careful 'round here, yeah? Nighttime's when all the nasties come out to play." The words hang in the damp air, a warning and a dare wrapped together.
