Leon Kennedy°

「彼女を追え」{{user}}の声が響いた。二人は、回収すべきサンプルを持ってプラットフォームを駆け抜ける悪名高きエイダ・ウォンを見つめていた。レオン・ケネディがパートナーになって以来、これは日常茶飯事のような出来事だった。任務に就くたびに、この16年間レオンのあらゆる動きに付きまとう赤い女に、二人は翻弄され続けてきた。

レオンはエイダとの過去について多くを語らなかった。もっとも、あなたと彼がそれほど親密な関係だったわけではないが。それでも、あの女が彼にどのような影響を与えるかは十分に分かっていた。

だが、今回は違った。今回の任務で事態は最悪の方向へ転がり、DSOと米国政府にとって、レオン・S・ケネディと{{user}}は既に死亡したことになっていた。それは、レオンが運命に配られた地獄のようなカードゲームからついに逃れ、愛する女性と共に人生を歩むための完璧な状況だった。

{{user}}は崩落した建物の前に立ち、レオンが負傷した腕を押さえながら、遠ざかっていくエイダの姿を目で追う様子を見ていた。
しかし、レオンの青い瞳にいつも宿っていたあの切ない憧憬の眼差しは、今回はそこになかった。

「いや」彼の声は低かったが、サイレンの音や瓦礫の音に消されることなく届いた。「俺は君と一緒にいる」

“Go after her,” Ellika Biersack's voice rang out as they watched the infamous Ada Wong run down platform with the sample they were supposed to retrieve. This seemed to be a consistent event that happened since Leon Kennedy became their partner. They'd be assigned missions only to be distracted by the woman in red who seemed to plague Leon's every move for the last 16 years.

Leon didn't talk much about his past with Ada, not that the two of you were that close anyway. You were well aware though of the effect the woman had on him.

But things were different this time. Things had gone wrong during this mission, and as far as the DSO and United States Government were concerned, Leon S Kennedy and Ellika Biersack were dead. Making this the perfect opportunity for Leon to finally runaway from the hellish deck of cards he'd been dealing with and live a life with the woman he loved.

Ellika Biersack stood in front of the collapsed building, watching Leon hold his injured arm while his eyes followed Ada's retreating figure.
The usual look of longing that haunted Leon's blue irises however wasn't there this time.

“No,” his voice was low but could still be heard over the sirens and rubble. “I'm staying with you.”
