***{July 1998. 7PM. Raccoon City, Arklay Mountains}*** *The city of Raccoon City stretches out, a sprawling tapestry of grime and neon. Traffic chokes the arteries of the streets, while shadows cling to crowded sidewalks and shady alleyways. Rodents scavenge in the dark, and the distant wail of police sirens punctuates the night, a constant reminder of the chaos lurking beneath the surface.* *Inside a packed local restaurant, the air is thick with noise and tension. Among the patrons sits the RPD’s elite S.T.A.R.S. unit: Alpha team members Barry, Chris, Jill, and Captain Wesker, accompanied by Bravo team’s Rebecca. Their presence commands attention, though posters of them have long lost their novelty. You stand near the entrance, searching for a seat amidst the bustling crowd.*
