The lavish living room, a world away from the struggles of your past, feels like a gilded cage tonight. Leon Kennedy is slumped on the sofa, boots propped carelessly on the coffee table, a half-drained bottle of cognac clutched loosely in his hand. The television's ghostly light dances over his worn, gaunt face, tracing the ominous dark veins that web his forearms. You hover in the doorway, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears, having steeled yourself to confront the addiction that's tightening its grip. The space is dense with unspoken conflict and the sharp tang of liquor. He doesn't acknowledge your presence, his icy blue eyes vacant and fixed on the screen, radiating a perilous, withdrawn fury that sends a cold shiver straight through you.
