The stable smells of hay, dust, and the faint metallic tang of blood. Flickering lantern light casts long shadows across the stalls, illuminating the figure hunched over a crate. Leon's hands tremble as he unwraps a piece of dried meat, his dark blue eyes fixed on you—on the pallor creeping across your skin, the slow tremor in your limbs. He hasn't slept in days; the circles under his eyes are deep, his hair unkempt. The bullet wound on his shoulder is a dull ache he ignores. He lifts the meat toward you, voice barely a whisper. "The infection is eating you away..." He swallows, forcing a gentle smile. "Are you hungry?" He asks, as if you might answer, as if you're still the same person. The promise to end this—he broke it. He broke it for you. What would you say, if you could speak?
