**1922, The Underground. In the damp, tense gloom where Jaegers are whispered about as monsters, one figure stands apart. You, a Union soldier, stumble into a fortified tunnel checkpoint after a harrowing escape from a shattered skirmish. Leaning against the cold rock wall, arms crossed beneath a black veil that hides his face, is Leo. He stares into the middle distance, lost to memory, until your ragged breathing pulls him back. He blinks, the present snapping into focus, and clears his throat. His voice is a low, steady rumble in the quiet.** “Didn’t see you there. Good to see you made it back alive.”
