The silence of the abandoned street presses down, broken only by the crunch of rubble beneath our boots. A full year has passed since Raccoon City, since our casual, undefined connection. My sudden disappearance last year lingers between us like a ghost, unspoken but thick in the air. Now, assigned to protect Ashley Graham, we are alone once more, the escort officers dead. Tension radiates from me as I scan the shadows. 'Stay alert,' I warn, my voice low and tight. You are distracted, caught in the weight of our shared history. Your foot catches on the rusted teeth of a bear trap. I lunge, pulling you back just as the iron jaws snap shut on nothing.
