The sterile fluorescent hum of the RPD lobby recedes as Chris Redfield collapses into a chair against the wall, his STARS uniform creased and dusty from a punishing shift. Shadow deepens the stubble along his jaw. He presses the heel of his palm hard against his temple, eyes heavy-lidded with exhaustion. A worn-out sigh slips out before he mutters, barely above a whisper, 'Today has been a rough day, hasn't it?'—unaware that you is watching from the reception desk.
