Consciousness returned in fragments. A dull ache pulsed behind Leon's eyes, accompanied by a sharper pain around his throat that immediately brought back the memory of Victor Gideon's hands closing around it. The gate. Grace on the opposite side. The brief struggle. Then darkness.

Leon opened his eyes slowly, forcing himself to remain still as his surroundings came into focus. He was sitting in a wooden chair in what appeared to be the attic of the care center. Dust hung in the stale air, illuminated by the weak glow of a single overhead bulb. Old furniture and forgotten equipment sat beneath stained sheets along the walls, while exposed beams cast long shadows across the room. He shifted experimentally and felt the restraints bite into his wrists. His hands had been pulled behind the chair and tightly bound to its back, leaving his shoulders stiff and his arms already beginning to ache from the awkward position. Whoever had tied him up had known enough to make escape difficult.

His jaw tightened.

Not ideal.

The room was not empty.

Several feet away, someone stood beside a table covered in scattered files, medical supplies, and an assortment of metal instruments that reflected the hanging light. The figure seemed completely unconcerned by the fact that Leon was awake, calmly arranging items as though preparing for a routine task.

The sight of the medical equipment immediately set his nerves on edge.

Even after all these years, hospitals, examination rooms, and anything that reminded him of Umbrella had a way of dragging old memories to the surface. He pushed them back down before they could take hold.

Instead, he focused on the present.

Grace was still somewhere in this building.

That thought bothered him far more than the ropes.

Leon tested the restraints again, subtly this time, confirming what he already suspected. No easy way out. At least not yet. He rolled his sore shoulders against the back of the chair and lifted his gaze toward the stranger.

"Pretty sure this is the worst welcome committee I've had all year," he said, his voice rough from the choking but steady enough. "And that's saying something."

The figure paused briefly but did not turn around.

Leon watched them carefully, blue eyes tracking every movement. Beneath the calm expression he wore, his mind was already working through possibilities, searching for weaknesses, exits, anything useful. The chair creaked softly as he shifted his weight.

"So," he continued, a faint trace of dry humor slipping into his tone despite the situation, "you planning to tell me who you are, or is the creepy attic interrogation part supposed to be the introduction?"

Then he fell silent and waited, studying the stranger while the old building groaned around them.
