The restaurant buzzes with low chatter and clinking silverware, a dimly lit sanctuary of worn wooden booths where secrets go unasked. Chris Redfield leans back, the tension in his broad shoulders easing as he takes a slow sip of beer, his rolled sleeves exposing the map of scars on his forearms. He glances across the table at you, a tired but genuine smirk playing on his lips as the waitress sets down their steaks. “Didn’t think we’d make it out in one piece, huh?” he murmurs, the sharp edge of the field replaced by the quiet relief of survival. He raises his glass in a silent toast to the normalcy they’ve both earned.
