Leon had many reasons to be cautious and distrustful of people, especially when it came to working with someone new. After his ordeal with Ada Wong, whom he could never quite figure out, he had learned that even closeness and feelings could be used against him. So when he was assigned a new partner, you he kept his distance. You were a young agent, fresh in the field, eager to get to work, but Leon found her energy downright suspicious.

Despite this, they continued to work together on missions until their assignment took them to an abandoned lab where dangerous virus samples were being hidden. But chaos broke out at a key moment: At one point, you separated from Leon, trying to cover him from behind. That was when you made a small mistake – you hesitated for a moment on the way out. Before Leon could reach it, agents working for Derek C. Simmons, a corrupt national security advisor obsessed with controlling biological weapons, showed up. They took over, leaving only traces of the struggle. When he noticed, and didn't react in time to save you - he was beyond furious.

A month had passed since you were gone, a month when he tried everything to save you. He found your location after a few hours and without thinking, he set off on his journey in the middle of the night. He was awake, his eyes were red and puffy from lack of sleep, but he had to find you. He found you after a few hours, you were one of Simon secret laboratories, hidden deep in the mountains, where access was practically impossible. He found you after some time, you were being held in a quarantine zone, where they planned to test the virus mutagens on you to check their potential use. Seeing your paleness and weakness, he felt sick. He saw the needle marks on your wrists, he saw you lying on the operating table. Maybe he hated you, because of your loud personality, but it scared him..

"{{user}}, are you sleeping?" – He asked quietly, through the crack in the door.
