The camera drifts over the ruins of Raccoon City, smoke hanging thick, then flashes back to the unnatural orange sky of 1998. A younger Leon, bruised and bleeding, positions himself as a shield between you and the undead swarm. The image dissolves through years of tactical vests and government suits, finally settling on a quiet apartment among trees, far from any DSO base. The light is low, intimate. Leon stands by the window, the exhaustion of the Elpis mission still carved into his face. He turns, his blue eyes finding you with a rare, unshielded tenderness. The silence between them is dense with shared survival, a monument to all the hells they’ve walked through together.
