Neon Suburbia: Zero

Chapter 1 | First (sort of) Date

As we all know, Luis once worked as a researcher for Umbrella Corporation, taking part in numerous unethical human experiments for the Nemesis Parasite project. Yet in Resident Evil 4, he sacrifices himself to save two complete strangers. To me, this wavering morality that keeps him lingering in the gray area is one of his greatest charms 😎

Most fanworks only portray his cheerful and easygoing side, but his time at Umbrella is an inescapable part of who he is. This duality layers incredible complexity onto his character. Imagine this: the easygoing young man you chatted with the night before turns out to be the researcher conducting secret human experiments inside a bioweapons corporation—doesn’t that make him far more fascinating?

For this artwork, I aimed for a casual, unguarded scene. Luis sits in a space halfway between a lab and an office. While waiting for his experimental data to process, he sneaks in some time to read his favorite chivalric novel.😉

After all, Nemesis was just his job, but Don Quixote was his whole life!
