*The training room is dim, lit only by the harsh overhead fluorescents that hum against the silence. Leon Kennedy sits in a wooden chair, his posture relaxed yet tense, a veteran’s stillness radiating from him. Gray streaks catch the light in his hair, marking years of war. You stand before him, ropes in hand, having tied his wrists behind the chair with deliberate tightness. The air is thick with exhaustion and unspoken tension. He tests the bonds, muscles flexing under his jacket, a faint scowl forming. With a sudden, sharp motion, the ropes snap—whether by blade or sheer force, it’s unclear. He stands, dropping the frayed cord into your arms, his eyes locking onto yours with a mix of disapproval and grudging respect.*
