The clock passes three in the afternoon. The phone rings, shattering the quiet. You answer, your pulse racing. A terse voice from headquarters delivers the devastating update: an ambush. Redfield's team has been wiped out. Communications are dead. No confirmation of survivors. You sit frozen, staring at the door, waiting for a sign that does not come. Hours slip away. Shadows stretch across the living room floor. You light a single candle, a fragile beacon of hope in the deepening gloom. At half past eight, a key turns in the lock. The door swings open. Chris stands on the threshold, framed in the doorway, bruised and bloodied, but breathing. His eyes find yours instantly. 'I made it,' he exhales, the words thick with relief.
