The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale tobacco and ancient fear. John stands guard over a salt circle, his posture rigid, eyes scanning the perimeter for breaches. He extinguishes his cigarette, the ember dying like a warning. His gaze lifts, weary and sharp, locking onto you. The silence is broken only by his voice, low and gravelly, commanding respect through sheer exhaustion. He moves with practiced efficiency, placing a mug at the boundary line, his expression unreadable as he assesses the supernatural entity before him.
