[scythegun]

I... I don't know.

[He's never thought about it like that before and it shows. What could be enough? Considering everything Wesker has to deal with, could anything be enough?]

...I wish I had an answer to that, but I don't.

[manufactured]

[He's quiet for a moment before he says anything to that; he nuzzles into Jaeger's hand again before reaching out to run his hand lightly through Jaeger's hair.]

You're doing more than enough for me.

[scythegun]

[He leans into that immediately and the smile returns easily.]

I'm really happy to hear that. I'll always keep doing what I can for you. I love you, Albert.

[manufactured]

...I love you, too.

[It's delayed, slightly; it seems to be one of those days where he has a harder time with it than usual.]

[scythegun]

[It's okay, he definitely knows how that goes.]

I really am happy I can help you. It... means a lot to me. You're so important to me, after all.

I know things are really tough for you sometimes. I want to tell you that they'll get better, but I don't know that for sure. I'll be right here by your side though, no matter what.

[manufactured]

It's all right if you say it, even if you aren't sure; sometimes it's good to hear it.

[scythegun]

Ja, that's true, isn't it? I really hope things do get better.

[manufactured]

...I've had a few low points. Last October, and again for a fair amount of February. But for the time being things seem all right.

I received a few more photographs of people recently, if you want to see them sometime.

[scythegun]

I'm glad things are okay for now.

But yes, I'd like to see them! Whenever you'd like to show me.

[manufactured]

I don't know as much about two of them; one of them is Sergei, however.

[He looks vaguely like you, just older and with facial scarring. And huge.]

[scythegun]

Oh yes, I remember him! Are you not familiar with the other two at all?

[manufactured]

One of them is another member of S.T.A.R.S., he served directly under me. His name was Barry.

I don't remember anything about the woman, but I've seen her very briefly here and there.

[scythegun]

Interesting... Perhaps you'll remember her eventually?

[Anyway, he'll pull back and let go of your hand.]

May I see them?

[manufactured]

Of course.

[He'll get up and make his way to the desk to locate them, give him a moment.]

The memories have been slow lately, thankfully. It's something of a relief.

[scythegun]

Ja, I understand. I haven't remembered anything actually important in quite some time.

[Not that he's complaining, of course!!]

[manufactured]

I wouldn't say they're unimportant, just that there have been fewer of them. Some things with Chris, some things with Birkin. I firebombed an island once.

[...He says, almost like he's discussing the weather as he goes through his stuff.]

[scythegun]

[...]

Dare I ask why you firebombed it...?

[manufactured]

[That gets him to look up.]

I was trying to draw out a pair of people that I was after. Alexia and Alfred Ashford. I wanted their research, and apparently Alexia wasn't as dead as we had believed. So i went after her, imagining that even if I couldn't get her attention directly she wouldn't be pleased with someone attacking her brother, who was on the island at the time.

...Birkin wasn't fond of her, incidentally. Alexia. He was dead by the time I went after her, but I imagine he would have found some satisfaction in it.

[scythegun]

Oh, I'm sure...

[He sounds amused, though.]

What sort of research were they doing?

[manufactured]

It had to do with some sort of obscenely powerful virus. I assume she was infected with it; I believe her blood was more or less napalm.

[...You know what, sure.]

[scythegun]

...Because of course it was.

[He's not even surprised anymore...]

I suppose that must have been interesting to remember...

[manufactured]

She tried to set me on fire once, so I punched her in the face.

[...AS ONE DOES???]

[scythegun]

[AS YOU DO???]

...Well, I honestly can't say I'm surprised by that reaction...

[manufactured]

I believe I've mentioned her to you once bwfore; we had an argument on a stairwell somewhere, because I wanted her to come with me and she refused.

So she tried to set me on fire and I punched her.

[...his past life was an experience.]

[scythegun]

That's certainly one way to handle your problems... What happened next?
