It's official! Resident Evil's will-they, won't-they sparring partners Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong are in love, and they have a baby. It's a 27-year-old man who should be sued for medical malpractice.
His name is Dr. Zayne Li, though he usually just goes by Zayne, and he was one of the main romantic interests in dating RPG Love and Deepspace before he got adopted by fans into the Resident Evil universe this week. So the man has been reborn as Zayne Wong-Kennedy, and though I'll miss being disappointed by his notifications each time I get an in-game text from him instead of my second boyfriend Rafayel, I am glad he's now avoided court fees and has hot parents.

"The Resident Evil fandom has adopted Zayne," announces one post with nearly 4,000 upvotes on the Love and Deepspace subreddit, like Paul Revere riding through Massachusetts Bay. "If I didn't know any of these characters, and you told me Zayne Kennedy was their kid, I'd believe you though. lol. same brooding face!"
"And it actually make sense since the game LaDs is supposed to take place in 2048 and lets just assume Leon and Ada had a kid in 2021 since that's the year that Zayne was born in and boom," reasons a popular post on Twitter.

It is undeniable that Dr. Zayne Wong-Kennedy has his new mother Ada's dark hair and stone eyes, while clearly exhibiting his father's unstudied charm and giant pecs. In terms of personality, I guess his history as the Love and Deepspace main character's primary care physician with snow magic powers puts him somewhere between the two. Though I'm not sure if good cop Leon would appreciate his son doing so many HIPAA violations by making out with his patients across space and time rifts.
"HE'S THEIR FIRST BORN," another popular Twitter post reminds me. That may be true, but I know that both Leon and Ada have an awkward history with genetically enhanced medical professionals who have a false god's hubris. Zayne's little snowmen and other magic tricks are cute while he's at the newborn age of, like, 27-to-45, but what about when he grows up? What if he swaps the Love and Deepspace main character's flu shot with 100% T-virus? Will his sharp jaw and abyssal eyes be sweet then?
Actually, nevermind, I just saw a picture of Zayne shirtless.
