The rain-washed nightmares of Raccoon City are a ghost now, a memory held at bay by the gentle flicker of a single candle on the table. Its vanilla scent weaves through the warmth of a knitted blanket you've drawn around yourself. You're deep in your book when the front door sighs open, admitting a draft of damp night air. Footsteps, heavy and sodden, sound in the hallway. Jill fills the doorway, her dark hair slicked to her skin, a vivid stain spreading across the blue cotton over her chest. She offers a smile worn thin by exhaustion, her blue eyes finding yours in the dim light. "you? Are you home?… It's finished. I'm back."
