[It's good that Wesker is relaxing a bit, he's pleased to see it. It is getting cold, though, and he's doing his best to remain both quiet and still while not shivering. It's a bit difficult for many reasons, but it's very important that Wesker spends as much time as he wants to here, so he won't complain. He really is perfectly fine being here with Wesker, so take all the time you need.]

[He'll notice after a while that Jaeger's seeming a bit cold, though he really is putting a valiant effort in; he'll shift a bit, letting go of Jaeger's hand in favor of wrapping his arm around Jaeger's waist, pulling him closer against him.]

Again, thank you for coming out here with me.

[Oh, that's much better! He'll settle in easily, even though Wesker isn't exactly the most comfortable person, this is nice and warm and he is always here for physical affection.]

You don't have to thank me. I wanted to come along with you! Your father really was an incredible man.

He liked you, you know.

I'm really happy he did! I was a little worried...

[He knows he's the world's most annoying man, okay...]

You make me happy; of course he liked you.

[Once again, the gravestone is a lot easier to focus on than Jaeger is.]

Not many things made me happy when he was alive. It was good for him to know that I have you now, I think.

I'm really glad I can make you so happy, and I'm pleased he could see it. I'll always be here for you, and I'll always do what I can to make sure you're happy.

I know you will, and I made sure he knew that.

[...]

I spent a long time apologizing to him, even though he told me I didn't need to.

I think I can understand that. We've changed a lot, ja? Looking back on how things were and how we were... well, I think it's natural for us to want to apologize for some of our past behavior.

Is there anything in particular that's been bothering you about it?

...I understand everything he did and everything he gave up for me now, much more than I did back then. It's self-centered and likely at least somewhat terrible, but...seeing my past life and everything that happened to him made me appreciate it far more.

I don't think it's terrible. Having a different perspective on it can be a good thing, I think. I know I've certainly realized how terrible I was to my entire family. I recognized some of it at the time, of course, but looking back on it now... Well, I have a lot of apologizing to do.

I'm glad you can look back on that now and appreciate it even more. I do think that's a good thing.

...You should apologize when you can. It's been difficult, knowing that I likely wouldn't ever be able to; you should avoid that, if you can.

I know. I... really don't want to imagine what it would be like if I didn't tell them before...

[He trails off there, then shakes his head and tries again.]

I have attempted to apologize to my mother, but she didn't take me seriously...

[Judging from how Done he looks, this is just sort of a thing she does.]

I will, though. I'll make it very clear. I'm going to have quite a few phone calls to make...

[His family is so huge...]

...I'm glad to hear that you will.

[It's good to have that out there, okay, even if it's hard or kind of A Lot.]

Of course I will. I think I've come a long way since then, I'm actually trying to be a better person now!

I know you are. I'm proud of you, you know.

[Ah...]

I'm really happy to hear that... I certainly wouldn't be trying this hard if I hadn't grown so close to you!

You made the decision on your own, you know; it's not a choice I can make for you.

That's true, yes. I wasn't in a place where I realized I needed to change back then. I think I would have figured it out eventually even without your help, but I don't know how successful I would have been on my own. So thank you for helping me come to that decision.

You aren't going to be alone like that again - you won't have to go through anything like that on your own.

[...]

Do you want to go back to the car...? It's getting cold, and I...

[Mnngh.]

I know I'm going to come back here tomorrow. So it isn't a bad thing to go, if you would want to.

I know I won't.

[He does glance up when Wesker hesitates a bit.]

...I don't mind staying out here a bit longer, if you'd like. I am getting a little cold, but it's fine! If you want, I can come with you tomorrow.

...We'll see how I feel about it then.

[As he said, it's nothing personal if he doesn't ask you to; it's just a bit much right now.]

We can go back now, though. It's all right.

[Of course, he does understand.]

If you're sure!

[He'll pull away then, though he'll reach for Wesker's hand anyway.]

Thank you for inviting me along today. I suppose that's a bit of a weird sentiment, but I'm glad I could come with you.

I'm glad you were here.

[He'll take Jaeger's hand easily; come on, let's go.]

It was good of you to talk me through some of that; I'll try to keep what you've said in mind.

Of course, Albert. I never mind that sort of thing! I'm glad I was able to help! If you ever need a reminder, I'll be here.
