Leon had expected a quick meeting, maybe a simple briefing, but the governor's tone shifted. There was something else, something he'd been holding back.
"What I need your help with… is concerning Eleanor."
Leon blinked, the words catching him off guard. Eleanor? Of all people? His brow furrowed in confusion. "What help could I possibly give you about her?"
The governor leaned forward, voice lowering as if the walls themselves were listening. "During my interrogation of the demon bound to Eleanor, I encountered… a block."
"A block?" Leon echoed.
"Yes," the governor said with a slow nod. "And when I tried to break through it, I almost put the lives of everyone in this base at risk. Fortunately, I used Lost Time before the situation escalated."
Leon's frown deepened, but he gave a slight nod of understanding. "So… how exactly am I supposed to help with a block that even you can't handle?"
"I don't know." The answer came without hesitation.
