Re9requiem Stories

After spending years somehow losing every jacket he owns during missions, Leon finally manages to keep his jacket after the Requiem events. Only for you to start stealing it around the house instead. What starts as playful teasing turns painfully soft when Leon catches you wearing it one lazy evening and realizes he likes seeing you wearing his clothes far more than having the jacket back.

In the wake of scattered reports of new T-Virus infections, the world once again finds itself on the brink of repeating a nightmare it never truly escaped. Veteran D.S.O. agent Leon S. Kennedy is dispatched to investigate the emerging outbreak-one that follows the patterns of past incidents. The virus is familiar, yet wrong. Its spread is quieter, more deliberate, as if someone is testing how far humanity can be pushed before it notices. Assigned to accompany him is Nathan Caldwell, a newly inducted D.S.O. operative and former police officer. Still carrying the habits of civilian law enforcement, Nathan enters the mission with a calm exterior, quick wit, and an ingrained need to keep people talking-even when fear threatens to take over. It's his first true bioterror operation, and he knows it. As Leon leads the investigation deeper into it all, Nathan is forced to confront the brutal reality behind the stories he wounds up hearing. The infected are not just monsters-they are reminders of how fragile order truly is. Each encounter chips away at his rookie confidence, replacing it with hard-earned resolve. Leon, hardened by years of loss and survival, becomes both shield and mirror for Nathan-a glimpse of what this path can turn someone into. Where Leon is quiet and restrained, Nathan fills the silence with words and humor, trying to hold onto something human as the world decays around them. Together, they uncover signs that this outbreak is not accidental. Someone is orchestrating it. They needed to know. As the investigation escalates, Nathan must decide what kind of operative he will become: a survivor who closes himself off like so many before him... or one who endures without losing his humanity.
