'Mr. Wesker!' Tomoe yelled.
Wesker got up from the couch in the hallway on the 4th floor.
'Dr. Tachibana… I'm glad to see you're okay. I went to the recep…'
In this moment, he noticed the suitcase Naomi was holding.
'Oh… So you found it'
'Yes, and we opened it' Dr. Kimishima stated. 'Now, we'd like you to come with us. Peacefully, if possible'
'And what if I refuse?'
Tomoe took her stance.
'Then I'll make you!'
Wesker did the same.
'I doubt your skills are enough to defeat a S.T.A.R.S. leader, Dr. Tachibana'
Tomoe didn't move a muscle.
'I do not wish to fight you, Mr. Wesker. Please… I beg of you, come with us quietly! We've all had enough of the violence around us… Please, let's not cause any more!'
Wesker smiled.
'Dr. Tachibana… I'm a man who's lived his whole life in violence. What happens around can't bother a heartless man like me
It was then that Tomoe felt something. She felt the man in front of her was lying, even though his eyes were covered by his sunglasses.
'You know that's not true, Mr. Wesker! You do have a heart! You saved my life!'
'Don't get any wrong ideas. I only did it to repay for your kindness'
'Is that really the truth?'
'Yes. What else could it be?'
'Maybe… Maybe it was your very heart that told you to save me'
'Is that so...' he laughed.
'What's so funny?' Naomi angrily asked.
'Heh… You know… I really have no reason to fight you…'
'Huh?'
'I've… lost everything. I… I betrayed my teammates to get this virus. I unleashed it by accident, and I lost the only concentrated sample… Now I have no more reason to resist'
Naomi took out her handcuffs and slowly went to Wesker, then cuffed him.
'That's not true, Mr. Wesker!'
'Hm?'
'You haven't lost everything! True, you may have broken the way of honor in the past… But the fact that you're willing to pay the price means that the sense of honor is strong with you!'
'Is that so…'
'And also… You have…' Tomoe smiled. 'You have me, Mr. Wesker! I believe in you!'
Wesker smiled back.
'You shouldn't'
