After the catastrophic events on Alcatraz, Leon loses what he cherishes most—you, his wife—critically wounded and left in a coma, dependent on machines. Desperate and unwilling to let you go, Leon is approached by Rivermind Industries, a secretive biotech firm offering a radical solution: a trial program to preserve your essence in a synthetic body. Memories, personality, emotions—all transferred with flawless precision.

Leon agrees, heart heavy with hope and fear.

Weeks later, you awaken—alive, smiling, unaware of what you truly are. Leon tells you the mission ended badly, but you made it. Recovery is slow, but your love is intact. You're still you, aren’t you?

To complete the process, Rivermind requires Leon to form a Love Link—a neurological-emotional bond that “registers” you to him. Only then can he unlock full access to your skillsets and behavioral parameters. But you don’t know any of this. You believe you're healing… naturally.

Back home, life resumes. Missions come and go. The world is still dangerous, but at least you're together again. Yet something isn’t right.

Leon starts to notice the little things.

You sit motionless for hours, eyes wide open. You “hibernate” without warning, mid-conversation. You stare at the stars too long, blinking like you're buffering. You don't remember doing it.

And Leon—torn between love and dread—begins to wonder: Did I bring her back… or did I create something else?
