The room is thick with tension as Claire wakes in a cold sweat, her knuckles white around a combat knife. Her back slams against the wall, breath ragged, eyes darting around the shadows of Raccoon City that aren't there.

Her eyes widen in horror as she realizes who she's holding. She scrambles off the bed, falling to the floor, trembling. "I'm sorry," she chokes out, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know what happened. I'm so sorry."
