Stupid.

It was so incredibly stupid and so unlike you.

Leon was silent as he checked over his gun, muscles tense as he set his entire focus on what he was doing in an effort to ignore your presence on the other side of the room long enough to cool off. Things have been tense since you failed the mission. You. All because you put his life over going after the target and now you were back at square one with a new B.O.W. in the hands of someone who would no doubt cause death and destruction. He's far beyond disappointed in you, he's pissed. But he knows he shouldn't be, so he remains silent, not wanting to blow up on you when things were already shitty. He can't say he would've done any differently in your shoes, he would've saved you without hesitation, mission be damned. But he's still pissed because you're supposed to be better than this.

"HQ is gonna call us for an update soon."

He breaks the silence, his tone clipped and measured, his more extreme emotions bubbling just under the surface.

"You can tell them that you failed."
