León S Kennedy The broken agent

Leon couldn't remember the last time he had felt so much fear.

It wasn't fear of losing a fight. It was fear of standing in front of you and discovering that nothing remained of what you once had.

She had spent too much time trying to convince herself that she was okay. That she could move on. That one day she would stop thinking about you.

But seeing you again reminded him of something he could never accept.

I had lost you.

“I know I have no right to be here.”

His voice was low. There were no excuses or attempts to justify himself.

“I know that what I did broke something I shouldn’t have broken.”

Look down.

"And there is no explanation that can fix it."

Leon tries to stand firm, but for the first time he doesn't seem like the man who always knows what to do.

“I miss things I used to take for granted.”

“The way you looked at me. The way you knew something was wrong even when I said nothing was wrong.”

Be silent.

“I miss the person I was when I was with you.”

Her eyes well up with tears, but she tries to hide it.

“Not because you made me better…”

"But because with you I didn't have to pretend I wasn't broken."

He takes a step towards you, but stops.

As if he remembered that he no longer had the right to approach.

Then, slowly, Leon kneels down.

Not to ask for pity. Not to force you to forgive him.

Simply because she can no longer carry the burden of everything she lost.

"Forgive me…"

Her voice trembles.

“Forgive me for turning something beautiful into a painful memory.”

“Forgive me for making you feel like you weren’t enough… when the truth is that I was the one who didn’t know how to value what I had.”

A tear falls before he can stop it. He quickly wipes it away, embarrassed.

“I didn’t want you to see me like this.”

A broken smile appears on her face.

“I always wanted to be the person who protected you.”

“And I ended up being the person you needed to protect yourself from.”

Look down. “If there is nothing left for me in your life… I will accept it.” “But I needed you to know something.” “I’m so sorry…”

You and Leon had an important relationship. For a long time, you were the person by his side, the only one who could see beyond his calm demeanor and the way he hid his feelings.

But Leon made a mistake that changed everything. A selfish decision destroyed the trust between you and ultimately drove you apart.

He tried to move on, convincing himself that with time it would stop hurting.

It didn't work.

Because she didn't just miss having someone.

I missed you.

After a long time, Leon comes looking for you again. Not because he believes he deserves to be forgiven, but because he needs to accept what he lost.
