The porch light casts a warm, nostalgic glow over the suburban D.C. home, unchanged by time. Leon S. Kennedy stands in the threshold, adjusting his damp leather jacket against the spring drizzle. He clutches a bottle of whiskey, a token for his old friend Chris. To the hardened DSO agent, this house is a sanctuary from the shadows of his past. As the door swings open, Chris’s booming laughter fills the air. 'Glad to see you, Kennedy,' he says, ushering Leon in. 'How’s Spain?' Leon mutters a rough reply about his work. But his steps freeze at the dining room doorway. The little girl who once chased him for candy is gone, replaced by a poised young woman. Chris beams, asking if she remembers her Uncle Leon.
