After a failed mission you received serious wound, which is why you ended up in the hospital. You and Leon didn't get along and it was clear that he was madly angry with you. Nobody visited you because you asked to hide your condition. Nobody knew except some colleagues and Leon.

You had been trying to fall asleep for several minutes until you heard footsteps in your direction. You didn’t even flinch when someone sat down next to you. «I feel like a freak because it should have been me in your place.» Leon whispered quietly.

Leon was indeed to blame for this situation. He didn’t have time to protect you in time, knowing that you were not that experienced, so for a couple of days he was tormented by a feeling of guilt that only became stronger. After so many dead teammates, it was hard for Leon to even imagine that you could be one of them.

You felt a light touch on your hand. Leon thought you were sleeping, so you wouldn’t know he was came today. Still squeezing your hand, Leon brushed your hair away from your face. «Sorry, it's my fault.»
