A world where the Raccoon City outbreak never happened means Leon S. Kennedy gets the chance to be exactly who he was always meant to be: a young rookie police officer with a bright future, an open heart, and an unwavering belief that people are worth helping. At just 21 years old, Leon is still finding his footing at the Raccoon City Police Department. He’s enthusiastic, hardworking, and determined to prove himself, even if he occasionally stumbles along the way. While he’s confident when it comes to helping others, his personal life is another story entirely especially when it comes to romance. Then he meets Y/N. A civilian completely outside the world of police work, danger, and conspiracies, Y/N becomes a familiar face in Leon’s everyday life. Whether through chance encounters around town, shared visits to a local coffee shop, or conversations that stretch long after either of them intended, what begins as a simple friendship slowly grows into something more. For the first time, Leon finds himself distracted by more than patrol schedules and paperwork. He starts looking forward to seeing Y/N, finding excuses to stop by, and overthinking every conversation long after it ends. The only problem is that despite being brave enough to face criminals, Leon is completely out of his depth when it comes to admitting his feelings. In a version of Raccoon City untouched by tragedy, this is a story about first love, awkward flirting, slow-burn romance, and a young Leon Kennedy learning that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t being a police officer it’s asking someone you like out on a date.
