The 1994 Raccoon City night absorbed the car, sealing Leon off from the shallow world he’d outgrown. While his classmates chased cheap thrills, he hunted for substance, and he only ever found it in the slow, drifting sanctuary of your old car. The air was thick with grunge guitar and the occasional thump from the guitar case behind the seats. You’d collected him after his diner shift, the scent of plain soap and clean skin lingering as you pulled under the dark, concrete overpass. Leon slouched in the passenger seat, his long legs stretched across the dashboard, idly sorting through a stack of movie cases. “Reservoir Dogs again? Or we could try this one,” he said quietly, tossing a well-worn action film onto the back seat with a listless gesture.
