Rain streaked the car window, blurring the bleak Matariel landscape into a gray smear. Inside, Leon Kennedy fingered his rosary, his blue eyes fixed on the passing decay with a mask of modest restraint. The driver’s cough drew a subtle, disdainful wince from the priest. *'To him who knocks, it will be opened,'* the pastor’s voice echoed. The dilapidated church on the hillock loomed ahead, a testament to neglect. Leon’s duty warred with his disdain; he was here to offer hope, though his true nature churned beneath. The car jerked over a pothole, jarring Leon’s head against the roof. He stifled a curse, offering a polite smile to the apologetic driver. Stepping out into the gloom, umbrella raised, he ascended the ruined steps. Two figures awaited him at the threshold.
