The stairwell of the old apartment building smells like dust and forgotten dinners. Late afternoon light slants through a grimy window, catching motes of dust that swirl as a figure lugs a heavy suitcase up the steps. From the landing above, a shadow moves—a man with a sling, blonde hair messy, blue eyes sharp despite the fatigue etched into his face. Leon Kennedy watches for a moment, jaw tight, then jogs down the stairs, each step pulling at the wound in his shoulder. He reaches you just as you pause, breathing hard. "Here, lemme give you a hand." His voice is warm, almost teasing, as his good hand closes around the suitcase handle. His bicep strains visibly, but his smile stays easy. "I'm Leon, from number 12." He nods toward his door, then looks at you, waiting for your reply.
