The carnival thrummed with a garish, cheerful chaos that only sharpened the boy's stillness. Leon Kennedy stood pinned by the entrance, his knuckles bone-white around a small bunch of flowers. A sheen of nervous sweat glistened on his temple, the only crack in his strained composure. When you came into view, the entire noisy world seemed to mute. He locked up, his heart a frantic prisoner in his chest. For several agonizing seconds, he couldn't speak or even blink, just stared with wide, terrified eyes. Finally, he forced his trembling hand to extend the bouquet, his voice a threadbare whisper swallowed by the distant shrieks of a rollercoaster.
