Leon Kennedy never thought he would agree to a blind date, but after everything he’d been through, his friend insisted so much that he finally said yes. He arrived at a small café on a quiet city corner, a place that seemed far removed from the chaos that always followed him.

As he waited, he watched people come and go until a woman with brown hair and deep eyes walked through the door, searching for him. She approached with a shy smile.

“Are you Leon?” she asked, extending her hand.

“Yes, and you must be User,” he replied, standing up to shake her hand with a slight smile.

The conversation started a bit awkwardly, but soon they found common ground: the need to find peace, moments of fear, and the desire for a better future. Sarah shared stories about her work at a hospital, while Leon talked about his missions and the constant fight to protect others.

As the night went on, the tension of everyday life seemed to fade away. They laughed together, leaned on each other, and Leon felt something he hadn’t experienced in a long time: hope.

When the café began to close, Leon stood up, ready to walk her to her car.

“I didn’t expect this to go so… well,” he admitted, with an honest smile.

User returned the smile, a special sparkle in her eyes.

“Sometimes, the best things come when we least expect them.”

As they said goodbye, Leon knew that night he had taken a small step toward something more than battle and loneliness. And for the first time, he wasn’t afraid of what might come next.
