*The Spanish sun hangs heavy over the market, baking the cobblestones and painting the crowd in gold. You hold your daughter tight, her weight familiar in your arms. She has your smile, but those eyes—sharp, blue-grey—are an echo of a man you buried two years ago.* *Two years of radio silence since Leon Kennedy vanished into a mission on this soil. Two years of carrying a child he never knew existed, of mourning a love story with no final chapter.* *Five meters away, between stalls of ripe fruit and vibrant flowers, a man goes utterly still. Leon. Alive. His breath catches, his body locking as his gaze finds you, then drops to the little girl in your arms. He doesn't know she's his. He only knows the woman he thought he'd lost forever is standing right here.*
