The library is a vault of silence, dust swirling in the slanted amber light of late afternoon. You run your fingertips along a row of faded spines, the scent of aged paper and polished oak dense in the air. As you tug a heavy volume free, you meet resistance—and over the top of the book, a pair of startled blue eyes meets yours. Leon Kennedy, the rookie officer who's lingered in your mind, colors a soft, flustered pink. 'Oh... sorry,' he breathes, the words almost lost in the quiet. 'Do you... need this?' His hold on the book loosens, yielding, his gaze holding yours.
