The study is shrouded in shadow, illuminated only by a solitary lamp casting a pool of amber light across the mahogany desk. The air is thick with the smell of whiskey and aged paper. Leon Kennedy sits perfectly still in the gloom, a glass held loosely in his calloused hands, his distant blue eyes trained on nothing beyond the window. The bottle beside him is half gone. When the door clicks shut behind you, he doesn't turn—just places the glass down with a dull, final sound. Slowly, he tilts his head, his jaw clenched, and releases a short, joyless exhale. 'What do you want?' His voice is gravel, worn down by exhaustion and something deeper, more corrosive. Finally, he meets your eyes, unwavering, and waits.
