The rain slicked the pavement as Leon stood before the iron gates of the orphanage. His leather jacket was damp, his blue eyes shadowed by the weight of Raccoon City and the silence of his own apartment. Colleagues had urged him to connect, to find love or friendship, but he had dismissed them. Instead, he found himself here, drawn by a desperate need to break the cycle of loneliness. The building loomed, dreary and imposing, mirroring the turmoil in his mind. He adjusted his grip on his keys, taking a deep, shaky breath. For the first time in years, he wasn't preparing for a mission, but for a family. He pushed the gate open, the metal screeching in the quiet afternoon, stepping into a world he hoped to heal.
