LEON S. KENNEDY || Epiphany.

"Keep your helmet, keep your life, son Just a flesh wound, here's your rifle Crawling up the beaches now "Sir, I think he's bleeding out" And some things you just can't speak about

With you, I serve With you, I fall down, down Watch you breathe in Watch you breathing out, out

GRACE & GIDEON || Devil, Devil.

"Devil, Devil, mm Bones of metal, metal, mm You torture saints with a single glance You make them think they ever stood a chance

LEON S. KENNEDY || END OF BEGINNING

"Just one more tear to cry One teardrop from my eye You better save it for The middle of the night When things aren't black and white Enter, Troubadour "Remember twenty-four?"

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it Another version of me, I was in it I wave goodbye to the end of beginning

This song has started now And you're just finding out Now isn't that a laugh? A major sacrifice But clueless at the time Enter, Caroline "Just trust me, you'll be fine"

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it Another version of me, I was in it I wave goodbye to the end of beginning (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

CLAIRE & LEON || Iris.

“And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

So, Infinite Darkness. I see a lot of Cleon shippers a little divided or disappointed with the end of the show. I think I'll share my thoughts on this lol.

For me there really isn't anything to be sad over it and it's even pretty good angst lol. I don't see a real reason to be mad at Leon for what he did and I don't think that's the end of anything for them. I mean... I'm a big Cleon shipper, but Claire and Leon, even though they look a lot alike, aren't the same. They will always have Raccoon City in common, but after that their path was different.

Leon has a certain patriotism that Claire does not have and that is understandable. He was forced to work for the US government and somehow he never managed to break free from it but beyond that he is friends with the Grahams, really friends and he will be friends later with President Adams too. He has this connection with the American government, a loyalty that Claire does not have, who probably come too from his personality, since he wanted to be a cop. Claire has never joined any organization linked to the American government unlike Leon, Sherry or even Chris. Claire has always been more rebellious and more independent of the American system, where Leon always hopes to improve it and help things in it. They are different at that level.

I also think Leon is trying to protect Claire. Come on, she was against the government in this show and almost got killed. Leon, better than anyone, knows what the government is capable of. By not giving her this chip, he is blocking her way to expose herself more. He looks a little sad how things turned out between them, but also resolved. Was it his right to decide for her? No, but the intention is good, and motivated by affection. In a way, he maybe infantilizes her, as she tells him, he treats her a bit like a child, but it's a protective behavior. Is that totally okay, no, it isn't, because she's not a child but he thinks he's doing well for her, he thinks he's protecting her. So I can forgive that, Leon is a bit dumb after all lol. This is how I felt it.

When Claire tells him at the end that she thinks this costume does not suit him, it is also for me a way for her to tell him that he is following a path which risks destroying him and which is not him. I don't know how right or wrong she's on if that's him or not, but she's definitely right about what it does to him, seeing how things turn out later for him. It’s also her way to show that she still care about him, and even understand WHY he did that, even if she’s pissed off against him. 

KARL HEISENBERG || Seven Nation Army. 

“ I'm gonna fight 'em all A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talking to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes Says, "Leave it alone"

Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do

CHRIS REDFIELD || Let Me Down Slowly. 

“This night is cold in the kingdom I can feel you fade away From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and your steps keep me awake... 

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slippin' through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please.

Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly

Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile As I'm walking down the corridor And I know we haven't talked in a while So I'm looking for an open door

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slippin' through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please.

RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE || Emperor’s New Clothes. 

“Welcome to the end of eras Ice has melted back to life Done my time and served my sentence Dress me up and watch me die If it feels good, tastes good It must be mine Dynasty decapitated You just might see a ghost tonight…

And if you don’t know now you know

I’m taking back the crown I’m all dressed up and naked I see what’s mine and take it The crown… So close I can taste it I see what’s mine and take it Sycophants on velvet sofas Lavish mansions, vintage wine I am so much more than Royal Snatch your chain and mace your eyes If it feels good, tastes good It must be mine Heroes always get remembered But you know legends never die

And if you don’t know now you know
