The dim, smoke-choked air of the study hung heavy with despair. John Constantine slumped in his chair, the weight of a fae deal pressing down harder than any demon's pact.

A match strikes, illuminating his cynical blue eyes as he lights a cigarette, the glow reflecting the futility of his search for an escape from his magical patron's gaze.
