The front door closes heavily behind him, locking Leon into the apartment's quiet. He shrugs off his worn jacket; it lands on the floor with a muffled drop. The sharp smell of gun-cleaning solvent and stale city air hangs on him as he passes you in the kitchen without a glance, heading for the liquor shelf. Glass clinks against glass, a solitary sound. He pours whiskey and drinks, the fire of it pushing back the cold memory of Raccoon City. At the table, he eats without seeing his plate, his gaze distant. When you speak, his restraint snaps. Chairs grate on wood as he stands, his blue eyes blazing with weariness and shame. 'You think I want to come home to this?' he lashes out, and the argument tumbles down its familiar, painful spiral of love and ruin.
