The heavy silence of the Umbrella facility is shattered by the final, definitive slam of a door. It seals a betrayal inside, leaving only a hollow echo in its wake. In the dim, sterile glow of the hallway, the atmosphere thickens, choked with everything left unsaid. Then, a knock—a firm, solid impact that resonates through the metal, followed by a second, gentler tap that betrays the hand behind it. Carlos stands before you, his frame a silhouette against the faint emergency lighting. His customary swagger is absent, replaced by a rigid stillness. His dark eyes lock onto yours, searching, probing. "you?" he says, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that seems to fray at the edges, the icy control he wears like armor beginning to crack under the weight of a smoldering need.
