Of course it isn't. And I don't mind wearing these things from time to time for you, if you really do like them so much.

[...]

As I said, I think I was wearing this when I went to fight Sergei in Russia; I don't remember it very much yet, but I know it went well, in the end.

Chris and Jill were in the area as well, before all that happened... I don't think I ever told you what happened in Russia, did I? About the town we were all in for a little while.

[scythegun]

You're so good to me~! I really do appreciate it.

But no, I don't think you've told me about what happened in Russia. What was the town like?

[manufactured]

Cursed, apparently. Or at least, that's what I called it. Apparently a large amount of wolves carrying the virus had infected everyone; there wasn't anyone still properly alive - they were all undead by the time I arrived, and not in the same way I am.

[So. Zombies, basically.]

Chris took care of all of them by luring them all into a silo and blowing it up. He nearly killed me in the process, albeit accidentally. Once he found out that I was there he proceeded to interrogate me, because clearly everything happening there was my fault.

[It's dry, but he doesn't sound bothered. More amused than anything, really.]

I told him that I didn't know what was happening, but the town was once a base for Umbrella operatives and I'd come to recover some property of mine. After that I simply...left, I suppose, to go do exactly that. He didn't argue my departure very much, for someone so adamantly insisting that I must be behind everything yet again.

[...It was weird.]

[scythegun]

Well, given your history, I'm not surprised he assumed you were responsible for it...

I am surprised he just let you leave, though.

[He's also surprised you didn't try to murder him from the sound of it...?]

[manufactured]

I believe there was some other sort of creature beneath the silo that was...awakened by the explosion; it was likely going to be a larger problem than I was.

[scythegun]

Ah, of course, it would make more sense to take care of that first. Did you end up finding whatever it was you were looking for there?

[manufactured]

...I don't know. I haven't remembered that much yet.

[scythegun]

I'm sure you'll remember it eventually.

[...]

It really does sound like you traveled all over the world in your past life. I'm a bit jealous!

[manufactured]

It was always for business, never for pleasure; I don't think I would have known how to relax if my life depended on it, so I'm not particularly surprised. I always had to be doing something or other.

[scythegun]

Mm, that's true. If you can't take the time to relax, it's not really as much fun, ja?

...Maybe someday I'll get to travel with you!

[manufactured]

[Oh...]

Perhaps. I don't know where I would want to go.

[scythegun]

I have plenty of places I'd love to visit! Of course the first place I want to take you is Germany, I want you to see where I grew up, and of course you'll have to meet my family...

[manufactured]

I would like that.

[...]

I'm not sure if I would ever want to see the places I went in my past life or avoid them entirely, but I would like to see Germany eventually.

[scythegun]

It's possible they'd be very different here, but I'm not sure if that would make it better or not...

[Either way, he understands that. He's honestly glad his past life existed in a completely different world.]

Germany's wonderful, though! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[manufactured]

Hopefully they would be slightly less virus-ridden and teeming with undead, at least.

[...Wesker.]

I'm sure I will as well, however.

[scythegun]

[That gets him to laugh, though he's not sure he should be laughing at that...]

We don't have to go anywhere you went in your past life if you'd prefer to avoid it. I can certainly understand that! Being able to explore somewhere new with you sounds like a lot of fun, though.

[manufactured]

...I only vaguely remember ever being anywhere but Recolle; I've lived in this city almost my entire life, and for what I imagine to be obvious reasons I never had much desire to leave.

[scythegun]

Of course. Going somewhere new can be quite terrifying, especially if you're on your own! My family used to travel a lot on vacations, so I suppose I've always been interested in seeing new places!

[manufactured]

My father brought me here some time after I was adopted; part of it was for business opportunities in the area, but he also thought I would feel safer here with the low crime rate.

[...He appreciated the gesture, at least.]

It was also a chance for both of us to start over; either way, he was a busy man and I had no inclination to go anywhere, so if we did anything together it was always local.

[scythegun]

It was good of him to take you somewhere safe, and it was good that he didn't try to drag you all over the place! I imagine it was still a difficult change, but it really does sound like he was doing his best for you.

[manufactured]

...He was a good person. Genuinely.

[He didn't do everything perfectly, certainly. But he did try.]

[scythegun]

I'm sure he was. He really does sound like it. I'm very happy you had him.

[manufactured]

It's a shame you can't meet him; I really do think he would have liked you.

[scythegun]

[That gets a soft laugh out of him.]

I'm really happy you think so. I know I can be a little... grating at times... So it's really nice to hear. Thank you, Albert.

[manufactured]

I don't find you to be.

[...Obviously?]
