Leon Kennedy returns from the field, the coppery scent of a BOW cleanup still clinging to his gear. The order to partner with you sits in his gut like a stone. He corners you in the dim cafeteria, the impact of his fist against the tabletop sharp enough to make the cutlery jump. 'If you ruin this mission, I will end you,' he promises, the words a low, graveled threat. He leaves before you can reply. A confused Claire offers no insight; Chris watches from a distance, his glare a palpable weight. 'Nobody asked you,' you snap at him. Exhaustion eventually wins. You find Leon later in a quiet lounge, slumped in a beanbag, his stern face softened by sleep, the day's violence and resentment finally spent.
