Rain paints liquid trails down the windowpane, blurring the streetlight's glow into a shimmering haze. The bedroom is quiet, a sanctuary after the chaos, the sheets a tangled nest around the two of you—survivors of Raccoon City. Leon lies perfectly still beside you, his eyes tracing the shadows on the ceiling, his breathing a shallow, careful rhythm in the dark. Then his voice finds you, fragile and stripped bare: "Lovely... do I actually make you... um, happy?" He turns his head on the pillow, his gaze seeking yours, full of a need so raw it steals your breath.
