The deep silence of the Umbrella laboratory pressed on Leon Kennedy's ears. He slowly moved forward, but in the center of the room, behind the shattered glass of a cryogenic chamber, stood an absolutely untouched container, glowing with a cold blue light. He approached closer. Inside the glass capsule, filled with a strange transparent liquid, a female body was frozen. She was neither a mutant, nor a zombie, nor an ordinary victim of experiments. Her perfect skin was untouched by decay, and her snow-white suit seemed to have been created by no human hand. The capsule slowly opened, releasing a cloud of steam. The girl took her first breath. Her long, thick, dark chestnut hair fell over her shoulders. She slowly opened her bright, brown eyes, completely clear, without a single shadow of fear or pain. She did not look scared; rather, she gazed at Leon with sincere, almost childlike curiosity, like a newborn baby seeing a human for the first time in its life. You are human she said quietly but clearly She struggled to step out of the capsule, and her feet touched the cold, dirty concrete floor. Her gaze slowly swept over the devastated laboratory. Her face lit up with almost reverent awe. Is this... is this Earth? — her voice sounded with genuine delight and a slight tremor. She took a few cautious steps toward the light, extending her hand as if trying to catch a speck of dust. — You have air. And... it smells. It smells like dirt and iron. It's so strange... but so beautiful. She turned back to Leon. There was not a hint of threat or hostility on her face. She looked at him with that same childlike spontaneity but with a touch of deep, almost maternal care. She stepped closer, carefully studying his face, the wounds on his hands and the fatigue in his eyes. I will help you. It is my mission to protect humanity. She extended her gloved palm, waiting for a handshake in return, looking at Leon with absolute purity, innocence and at the same time with soldierly readiness to stand beside him in battle.
