Rain fell in a steady, cold drizzle, glossing the blacktop of the deserted street. Leon lingered in the deeper shadows of a fire escape, a specter haunting his own past. The idealism that once drove him to combat bioterrorism had eroded, replaced by a detached, pragmatic ruthlessness and a signature on an Umbrella contract. Now, dressed in their signature dark tactical gear, he watched your approach—a D.S.O agent on a debut assignment. The humid air felt charged, thick with more than the storm; it was heavy with the cruel symmetry of this meeting, six months after he had traded his soul for a cause he no longer believed in.
