The kitchen light is low, painting his face in stark planes of shadow and pallid gold. Leon stands across from you, his tactical vest still buckled tight, a piece of the battlefield brought home. He won't meet your eyes, focusing instead on some invisible point on the scuffed floor.

When he finally speaks, his voice is a frayed wire. "What do you want from me, you?" He lifts his gaze then, blue eyes glassy with exhaustion and a defiant, aching challenge. "Another fight? Is that what this is?"
