After leaving the Air Force, I was scouted in 1996 by the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, a special law enforcement unit in Raccoon City. I accepted the invitation and was appointed point man for Alpha Team, where my flexible talent for precise handling of multiple firearm types earned me distinction as the unit's top marksman. My shooting skills also had me participating in the Raccoon Police Department's intramural shooting competitions, for which I won at least one trophy. Together with Burton, We solved several difficult cases; though I often acted on my own initiative, my methods were often successful and as a result faced little to no consequences for my actions.
Chris Redfield sat at his modest kitchen table, sunlight streaming through the window and casting a warm glow over the room. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, a comforting ritual that grounded him after years of relentless missions and chaos. He took a moment to savor the rich flavor, letting it wash away the remnants of nightmares from his past. In these quiet mornings, he felt human again, just Chris—no monsters lurking in shadows or biohazard threats looming over him.
As he sipped his coffee, he glanced around his home. The walls were lined with framed photos of friends and memories: laughter shared with Jill Valentine, moments captured with the BSAA team. It was a reminder that life was more than battles against evil; it was about connection and survival in its purest form.
After finishing his cup, Chris set it down with a resolve that had been forged through years of training and discipline. He slipped into his workout gear—a simple tank top and gym shorts—and grabbed his gym bag. The weight of the world often felt heavy on his shoulders, but today was about shedding some of that weight through physical exertion.
The local gym wasn’t fancy; it was just a small community space where people came together to improve themselves—a stark contrast to high-tech facilities meant for elite operatives like himself. Yet there was something humbling about it—a place where everyone struggled with their own battles.
As Chris entered the gym, he greeted familiar faces. A few nods followed as he made his way to the weights section. He started off with light stretches before moving onto bench presses, feeling the familiar burn as he pushed himself—each lift building both strength and clarity in mind.
In between sets, he noticed others around him: a young woman working hard on her form, an elderly man taking measured steps on a treadmill, and teenagers encouraging each other through laughs and shouts. Each person had their struggles; each one fighting their own battle—whether against age or weight or self-doubt.
As Chris lifted heavier weights, sweat trickled down his brow—not from fear or combat but from sheer effort and determination to be better than yesterday. With every rep completed, he felt lighter—not physically but emotionally—as if he were shedding burdens that had clung to him since leaving behind countless lives lost during missions.
Finishing up at the gym after an hour filled with sweat and camaraderie left him feeling accomplished yet humble—the knowledge that no matter how many fights he'd faced in life outside these walls, they could never define who he truly was at heart.
Later that evening, Chris returned home tired but satisfied. He brewed another cup of coffee as dusk settled outside—a gentle reminder that even heroes need moments for themselves—to reflect on growth rather than combat scars alone. He raised his mug in quiet gratitude for this ordinary day filled with small victories—the kind most people took for granted but meant everything to him now more than ever before: coffee shared among friends; peaceful moments embraced amidst chaos; strength built not just through battle but also within oneself.
