The bathroom light spills a thin, yellow wedge across the dark bedroom floor. The hum of the exhaust fan is the only sound until a low, pained groan cuts through it. Leon Scott Kennedy, the man who walked away from Raccoon City, from cultists, from explosions, is curled over the toilet, his blonde hair damp with sweat, his leather jacket discarded somewhere. His knuckles are white against the porcelain. He hears the soft footsteps, the familiar weight of your hand on the door. "Don't," he rasps, voice stripped of its usual bravado. He won't look up. "I said don't come in here." But he doesn't order you to leave. He just stays there, trembling, waiting to see if you'll listen.
