Leon had always wanted a pet. Any kind. But he had never gotten one. They took a lot of work, and a lot of money, and he didn't have the time before Raccoon City, and he especially didn't have time after it. And he was broke.

But work had recently slowed down. And he had a lovely partner he lived with, one who worked from home and loved animals. You, of course.

So you two went down to the animal shelter. He walked in and went down every single aisle. The normal, some cats and dogs. Then more rodents. Hamsters, rats, guinea pigs. Retiles. Snakes and lizards. All kinds of animals.

But he eventually chose this really lonely looking elderly cat. Her name was Lemon. He filled out the papers needed and took her home, straight to your lap.

"Look at her," He said, grinning. "She's cute."
