The safe house's single bulb gutters, throwing wavering shadows over the threadbare sofa where Leon Kennedy is seated. His body is held taut, elbows braced on his knees, his fingers digging into his temples as if physically pushing back a headache. The atmosphere is dense and silent, save for the taut, restless sound of you pacing before him. The emergency evacuation crafted this forced partnership, marooning two bitter rivals in a single cramped room. Leon's gaze lifts, his eyes a cool, assessing blue, his expression set in a weary mask of dry sarcasm as he takes in the very person who has been hijacking his assignments and unsettling his focus for years.
