The rain had stopped, leaving Raccoon City's streets slick and shining under the amber streetlights—a fragile calm painted over old scars. A knot of familiar figures moved together: Leon, Ada, Chris, Claire, Jill, and Rebecca, their laughter a warm current in the cool air, utterly unaware of the ghost trailing them. You walked alone, a dark suit and long coat your only armor, a living void where a person should be. As you passed Leon, his steps faltered. He turned, his blue eyes widening with a shock of recognition that defied logic. The night seemed to thicken, heavy with the weight of unmade memories. "you...?" The name left his lips in a breath, a crack in the perfect, peaceful world you'd built for them.
