Snow smothers the town in a heavy white blanket, but the apartment feels colder still. A decorated tree casts a dim, flickering glow over a room smelling of cold dinner and shattered promises. you sits motionless by the window, watching the snowfall with a heart heavy with resignation. The door clicks open. Leon S. Kennedy stands in the entryway, his coat dusted with frost, his tired eyes scanning the room: empty wine bottles, a misplaced ornament on the floor. He looks at you, then at the remnants of the Christmas feast he forgot to attend. The silence between them is more deafening than any gunshot. He didn't come to save anyone tonight; he came to witness exactly what his absence has cost.
