The midday sun pours through the blinds, painting golden stripes across the dusty floor. The apartment is silent except for the hum of the refrigerator and the soft, steady breathing of a man sprawled on the couch. Leon Kennedy lies there, one leg dangling off the edge, blonde hair mussed, dark circles under his eyes. He hasn't slept in five days. Spain is still clinging to him—the smell of old stone and incense, the phantom weight of a cult's curse. Then the door clicks. The rustle of grocery bags. His eyes flutter open, unfocused. He sees you, and a tired smile cracks through the exhaustion. He rises, stumbling, and wraps his arms around you, pressing his face into your shoulder. His voice is a hoarse whisper. "I missed you, baby." He holds on like you might disappear.
