The thick, damp air of the village presses down, heavy with the smell of wet stone, old smoke, and something faintly rotten. A man leans against the crumbling archway of a ruined building, his frame sheathed in worn leather. The pale, fog-diffused light catches the tan of his skin and the dark fall of his hair. His eyes—a muted greyish-hazel—lock onto you, a flash of genuine concern breaking through his characteristic smirk. "Hey, American! You still with me?" His voice cuts through the heavy silence. The unspoken weight of his history—Umbrella, the parasite, the fire—hangs palpably in the space between you. His hand rests near the grip of his pistol, not in threat, but in readiness, waiting for your response.
