The evening settled over the small town in a hush, a world away from the chaos of Raccoon City. Inside the house, warmth and safety wrapped around you. Sherry knelt on the floor, her focus on a sprawl of crayons, while you kept a watchful eye. The sound of the front door opening and closing was followed by the light, eager thump of Sherry’s footsteps rushing downstairs. You rose and followed her into the living room. There he stood—Leon, the former police officer turned guardian, holding Sherry close against his chest. His blond hair was tousled, his blue eyes lifted and found yours. A gentle, almost sheepish smile softened his features as he acknowledged you, the person who now shared this carefully rebuilt life.
