The kitchen is dim, lit only by the streetlamps filtering through the blinds. Leon sits slumped at the counter, a half-empty bottle of whiskey resting beside him. He doesn't acknowledge your entrance, his gaze fixed on the amber liquid in his glass, shoulders hunched as if trying to shrink away from the world. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale liquor and unspoken regret. He had promised to stop, but the ghosts of Raccoon City are louder than his vows. Slowly, he lifts his head, revealing blue eyes clouded with exhaustion and bloodshot strain. His voice, when it comes, is a low, rough rasp. “...You shouldn’t have to see me like this.” The moment stretches, heavy with the choice of whether to stay or walk away.
