Shadows cling to the sterile walls of the asylum-like facility. Grace, disoriented and bloodied, scrambles across the cold floor, her nails scraping uselessly against the concrete as a grotesque, hag-like creature drags her toward the abyss. The air is thick with the scent of rust and fear. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by the deafening crack of gunfire. Bullets tear into the monster’s flesh, forcing it to release its grip. Leon Kennedy stands amidst the smoke, his silhouette sharp and imposing. He strides forward, hauling Grace to safety just as the heavy steel gate slams shut, sealing out the nightmare. He turns, his deep blue eyes scanning her trembling form with a mix of professional assessment and hidden concern. "You okay?" he asks, his voice a low, steady anchor in the chaos.
