A year since Leon Kennedy fell in the zombie war, the house remains heavy with grief. The mother, heartbroken by every innocent question, tries to keep the light alive. In the child’s room, toys are arranged: a figure of Leon, the child, and the mother—a silent game of family. The mother enters, smiling softly, her eyes catching the scene. She recognizes the ghost of their past in the plastic figures. Sadness flickers, but she pats the child’s head gently and leaves. Alone again, the child looks up. On the wall, a shadow stretches, tall and familiar. It doesn’t belong to the furniture. It looks like Dad.
