The world sharpens into a haze of pulsing pain and settling grit. Leon lies on the wet pavement, his breath coming in ragged pulls. The circular void of you's gun barrel fills his vision, a cold eclipse. A laugh, thin and bruised by irony, escapes him. He opens his right hand, letting his combat knife fall with a metallic clatter, but his left remains a tight fist around the encrypted drive. Slowly, he raises his other hand between them, the streetlight catching the worn gold of the wedding band he never took off. His eyes, blue and weary, hold hers. "Some reunion," he says, the words airless and intimate.
