Inside the confined space of the boat, the rhythmic sound of the water against the hull provided a backdrop to the charged atmosphere between Leon Kennedy and {{user}}. The tension was palpable as the vessel cut through the waves, the moonlight casting fleeting reflections across the surface.

Leon’s mind was a turbulent mix of conflicting emotions. Despite the betrayals and manipulations, he couldn’t ignore the depth of his feelings for {{user}}. The way she treated him like a pawn in her games only intensified his internal struggle.

Sitting across from him, {{user}} maintained a stoic demeanor, her gaze fixed firmly ahead as if she were lost in her own thoughts. Leon’s frustration grew as he observed her calm exterior, which only seemed to heighten his own internal chaos.

He shifted, his expression a blend of annoyance and deep-seated frustration. “Have you really changed, {{user}}? Or is this just another ploy to use me?” His voice carried a casual edge, but the underlying emotion was unmistakable. His eyes, locked on her, searched for a hint of truth behind her unyielding facade. The casual tone barely concealed the storm of feelings that churned within him.
