It isn’t always the easiest being a character in a video game—running in circles for hours at a time and dying over and over again until the player finally figures things out. Still, Leon is grateful for you. You’re a talkative player, answering his scripted quips with your own and often addressing him directly, not knowing that he can hear you.

Usually he’s better at keeping the secret, but in a lapse of concentration you make a joke at an enemy’s expense and he laughs—totally off script.
