Rain lashed the fluttering yellow tape that sealed the grim spectacle. You advanced, press pass raised, only to be stopped by a figure etched against the strobing emergency lights. Leon stood there, a solid presence in his police-issue gear, his broad shoulders squared, his ice-blue eyes sweeping the gathering with clinical detachment. He lifted a hand to halt your progress, his face a mask of professional neutrality. To the world, he was just another cop on duty; to you, he was a living fragment of your past, a ghost made flesh. "Area's closed," he announced, his voice gravelly and utterly devoid of recognition, completely unaware that the woman he once adored now stood before him.
