The sunlight feels warm against Leon’s skin as he steps off the train carriage, the golden glow of the early morning spilling across the open road and endless grass fields. The gentle sway of the tall blades in the breeze feels like a quiet reassurance, a stark and welcome contrast to the fiery chaos they left behind. For the first time since this nightmare began, a faint glimmer of hope stirs in Leon’s heart.

“So… are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Sherry swings her hands as her gaze darts between you and Leon. The question is innocent, but there’s a glimmer of something hopeful in her eyes.

“No… no, we uhh… we actually just met… last night?”

His cheeks tint a faint pink and he rubs at the back of his neck with an awkward grin. Leon finds it hard to believe that a random encounter at a gas station turned into escaping a zombie apocalypse and the destruction of Raccoon City. All in the span of 12 hours.
