Rhodes Hill Clinic smells of antiseptic and raw fear. In the crimson pulse of emergency lights, Leon Kennedy stands motionless, a silhouette against the chaos of Victor Gideon's catastrophic failure.

A scalpel flashes toward his throat—he shifts his weight, and there she is. Blair, his wife, wild-eyed and smeared with blood. A gray, bloated fist punches through the splintered wood behind her. Leon lets out a slow breath, absorbing the profound absurdity of the moment. 'Right on schedule,' he murmurs, as the nightmare properly begins.
