    Summary

    Smoke breaks are neutral ground, so she makes a grabbing gesture for his lighter and he gives it. A big fat zippo with a gaudy engraving of an angel. Easy enough to pocket. Just need to hide it in the palm of her glove. Chris is oblivious enough. He’d probably spend hours going full bloodhound for something so small and obviously sentimental.
    His cleared throat gets her attention and she passes the lighter back.
    “So, you’re a Seabee,” he starts.
    “Used to be, yeah.”
    “Why’d you quit?” he asks.
    (Something called a glass ceiling? I’d proven to my dad that I wasn’t going to be his legacy? My mom died and I realized life was too short to spend being petty?)
    She shrugs, “Got bored, I guess. It wasn’t what I wanted.”
    “And what do you want?”
    (That’s the question, isn’t it? The climbing highs and the booming lows, where in the movement of keys does she fit? Where does she want to fit? Is she a music box or a tin soldier?)
    She shrugs again, “To be Sarah Connor, maybe?”

    Jill Valentine character study spanning from RE0-RE8. Serves as a prequel for Director Chiba and the Soft Apocalypse.

    Summary

    A new designer drug is turning club kids into glowsticks—and corpses.
    When "Halo Technologies" shows up on the radar, Claire, Leon, Jill, Chris, and Rebecca get pulled into a mission that’s definitely not just another recon op.

    Undercover in a bioterror hotspot, the lights are too bright, the music’s too loud, and the tension’s one spark from combustion. (Think Blade club scene vibes.)

    Claire knows how to act like nothing’s wrong.
    Leon’s the reason it is.

    Summary

    They call her by many names. The Widow. The Slavic Shadow. The Red Death.
    They call him the Winter Soldier. Russia's deadliest assassin. He has no name.

    Years later, as more of the falsehoods and manufactured memories fall away; her mind brings back a single thread of truth to her. An American's voice, quiet and intense, whispers her name - Natalia - into her ear at night, and it’s a ghost rattling around in the confines of her brain and in between the shattered spaces of her heart. It’s the color of blood dripping on pure white snow.
