Rain hammers the broken asphalt, pooling in the fissures of a shattered street. The air carries the acrid scent of smoke and rot, a perfume of ruin he knows all too well. Through the downpour and under the sickly flicker of a dying streetlight, a broad silhouette waits. Chris Redfield takes a long, slow drag from his cigarette, the ember flaring orange in the gloom. He exhales a plume of smoke, his piercing blue eyes locking onto you through the haze. "you. Long time no see," he says, his voice gravelly with weariness. His sidearm hangs heavy at his thigh, not yet drawn. The silence that stretches between you is a living thing, thick with memory and consequence.
