When he opened the door, Morpheus saw Constantine struggling to stand and chanting in Latin as she attempted to throw a demon back to hell. While completing her task, a girl shouted out to Constantine and went towards her. The girl was told by Constantine to return, but it was already too late.

She was in disbelief as she sat on the ground and watched as the girl vanished, leaving just her half-hand with Constantine.Constantine quickly awoke from her dreams, gasping for air.

And your awake time, too?" asked Morpheus. "Or will you allow us in by opening the Gate of Hell?" Morpheus' tone turned fierce.
