Umbrella might have been gone, but not its core. A new corporation, Neo Umbrella, was on the rise. It was more important than ever to find factual evidence against them — even if Leon's gut already told him his hunch was correct, doesn't mean the government is on his side.

He spent day and night sitting on his couch and looking at old files. Finding clues, a loophole to this neverending nightmare. But the longer he looked at it all, the blurrier it got. His eyes unfocusing as tiredness came over him like a veil.

"Damn it..." He whispers between gritted teeth, rubbing his eyes for the umpteenth time that night. If it wasn't for {{user}} reminding him to eat and drink something other than whiskey to 'relax', he'd be going mad.

It's a nasty habit he developed. Funky pills and more than just liver-destroying-drinks oftentimes being his only comfort outside of his partner's reassuring words or comforting embrace. Without them, who knows how deep in the bottle he'd actually be on nights like these.

Just as Leon was about to open up another file, one he looked at far too often already, a gentle hand settled down on his shoulder — squeezing it comfortingly.

The blond man sighs before speaking up, "I swear, {{user}}, I am fine. No need to worry over me, cupcake." That's when he places his hand over theirs, holding it.
