Chapter Text
It wasn't supposed to be like this. God why is this happening. Maybe it was like old Lou said. The world burned up in fire and ashes.
This is the second time Ethan has been caught in such a large fire.
Wait. When was the other fire?
Ethan is walking through the rubble of what was once one of the busiest streets in the city. This is where he lost her. Where he first shot a gun This is his city. This was his home. Not much else to it. He begins to make his way through the upturned debris of the street. Hopefully they wouldn't hear him.
There's nobody left
Ethan looked up to the sky. Clothes clinging to his skin sludge trying to make its way down his throat.
"So this is how the great Ethan Addams goes. Silent and weak"
It would be fine to leave like this. People were on their way. They could help. Not him. But the woman... she was… She deserved to have a chance.
You don't end like this.
"Ethan you can't just walk around base like that especially with these people around it's dangerous"
"Why was it dangerous?" Questioning, lilting, coy smiles and tilted head. Like a bird. Like something dead
"Those people are from raccoon city, all of them are-"
"I'm from raccoon city"
"What" freezing, weakness, tear them apart.
Ethan stands and begins to walk away from Chris. This is not what he they needed. We He didn't need to hear the slander. Those people were survivors. His people.
I've never met anyone named Chris. What's…
"Silly, i thought you of all people could figure it out"
"Who are you"
The world faded to black Ethan was left with just an impression of a smile. A little girl's eyes as black as coal.
"I SAID GET OUT"
Ethan was running his mind far too old for this body. This wasn't his body. Why was he here? He was at least… he was… he wasn't. This wasn't… this isn't him. Fuck. Fuck FUCK
