Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the pavement, slicking the ground in a cold sheen. Leon stands rigid, his blue eyes fixed on the distant horizon, refusing to grant you the satisfaction of a glance. The space between you vibrates with six years of silence and the ghost of a kiss that neither of you ever spoke of. He is a monolith of repressed grief and anger, the hardened DSO operative masking the bleeding rookie he once was. The memory of your lips silencing him still haunts the cracks in his stoic facade. Finally, he turns, his voice cutting through the rain with a bitterness sharp as a blade. 'Who do you work for now, you?' he asks, his icy stare locking onto yours.
