Summary
Trauma does things to people, changes them irreversibly and makes therapy the only way out to learn how to handle the new pain. The pain, which no bandaid or ointment in this world can soothe.
Leon S. Kennedy knows this all too well. His head is never silent. Not after Raccoon City and certainly not after Spain. He survived, completed the mission, but at what cost?
When Jason choked him during their final fight, Leon's head had became blissfully silent for a mere second. When acid hit and ate through his skin while he saved Claire, the same thing happened. When Leon experimentally put out a cigarette onto his own skin, he proved the hypothesis.The real pain silenced his internalised pain, made it far more bearable. It drags Leon down memory lane and into taking risks, he probably should not take, finally making people call him Leon "Slut" Kennedy to mock him.
Finally, China reveals what he tried to hide at all cost.
Or: Leon gets tired of his life due to all of the trauma he has been through. He finds that inflicting physical pain helps to quiet his mind. Thanks to Jack Krauser's teachings, however, he requires someone else to inflict it.
