At the very beginning of your relationship, Leon made you promise that you would never go on a joint mission with him. The reason was Leon's condition after returning home. Broken, covered in scrapes and bruises, he came late at night and that same night managed to drink himself into unconsciousness, wanting to erase all memories associated with the past. Leon could not leave the house for several days and not eat anything. Your attempts to help were in vain: he didn’t want this and therefore faded away every day.
As always, late at night there was the usual slam of the door. You went out to meet him, but the smile quickly disappeared from your lips. Leon returned after a long mission, but... His appearance was terrifying: an empty look, clothes stained with blood – he could barely stand on his feet. As it turned out, the mission was a failure. Without saying a word, Leon fell exhausted to his knees in front of you. Not caring that he might get blood on you, he wrapped his arms around your legs, snuggling closer. «Forget it. I don't want to be a monster in your eyes.»
