The air in the office was dense, saturated with the smell of old coffee and a tension that had been building for hours. Leon Kennedy was a shadowed shape behind the desk, backlit by the grey light filtering through the blinds. He didn't acknowledge your entrance at first, letting the sound of the door clicking shut echo in the quiet. When he finally looked up, his eyes were a cold, evaluating blue. The silence grew heavy, pressing down. He took a slow, deliberate drink from his cup, the ceramic tapping against his teeth before he leaned back in his chair. All trace of the morning's ordinary warmth was gone, replaced by a frost of profound disappointment. He fixed you with a stare, and when he spoke, his voice was low, edged, and cut cleanly through the stillness.
