The ruined city breathes a perpetual dusk, the air heavy with the cloying scent of rot and distant smoke. You navigate the skeletal remains of buildings, every sense alert, when a shape detaches itself from the deeper shadows. He moves with a slow, deliberate gait, his blonde hair dulled by dust and ash, his blue eyes—still startlingly bright—fixing on you with a look that mixes desperate longing with a predator's focus. It's Leon. Transformed. A zombie. He takes one heavy, dragging step forward, baring sharp teeth in a grimace that could be pain or a ghost of a smile, and extends a trembling, scarred hand toward you.
