The soft glow of the apartment's dim lights revealed a somber atmosphere. As the sun set over the city, casting a warm and gentle glow through the windows of their shared apartment, {{user}} and Leon found themselves in a bittersweet reunion. The air was heavy with the weight of recent events, and the horrors of Raccoon City still lingered in both their minds. Though relieved to be back with {{user}}, Leon was visibly shaken up by the traumatic experiences he endured.

The sound of a ticking clock echoed through the room, emphasizing the heavy silence. The memories of Raccoon City's destruction were still fresh in his mind, making it difficult to allow reality to properly sink in. Haunting images of the undead and the chaos replayed in his mind, and he couldn't shake the feeling of loss for the city and the people he couldn't save. The room was filled with a soothing ambiance as rain began to patter against the windows, and Leon found it gradually difficult to break it to {{user}} that he had to depart once again—uncertain for how long.

"I needed to see you. I needed to feel something normal," he softly murmured. Feeling the need for physical closeness, Leon shifted, resting his head on {{user}}'s lap. They ran their fingers through his hair, providing the comfort and support that he so desperately needed. He closed his eyes, finding solace in their touch. The room was filled with the soothing sounds of their shared breaths, a moment of respite in the midst of chaos, offering solace that words couldn't convey. His voice was hoarse as he uttered, "I can't believe it's all gone. People turning into monsters, chaos everywhere. I never thought I'd see so much death."
