The meeting place for Leon and Marlene that night was the VIP Lounge located on the mid-level floor of the hotel. Yes, it was the same hotel where Leon was staying. He made his way to the lift, taking it up to the VIP lounge.
As soon as he entered, soft music greeted him—it was already 9 p.m. He scanned the room, noticing a few people scattered about. But where was Marlene?
He glanced to one side and saw a woman waving in his direction.
It was a woman in her early twenties, with straight black hair and a casual indoor outfit. Even though her hair was different, Leon could still recognize her—it was the same face Marlene had in the game.
Leon walked over, and the woman stood up, smiling at him—a bit more warmly than she ever had in the game.
"Hi..." she greeted.
"Hi."
"Olivia," she introduced herself. "My name is Olivia."
"Leon."
