'Wow… I wasn't expecting a cellmate… Who're you?'
Wesker sighed.
'Great… Just great…'
'Nice to meet you, Mr. Great! I'm Adam!'
Wesker frowned.
'I'd appreciate if you'd stop making fun of me'
'Alright, alright…'
Albert looked down.
'Hey, why are you so depressed?'
'Aren't you?'
'I was at first, but… I gave some thought about my whole situation, and… Hell, I may be going to prison, but at least I managed to save a life before that! That's enough of a reward for me!'
'Is that so…'
Adam nodded.
'So, what's your real name, cellmate?'
The man sighed.
'Wesker'
'I'm Adam. So… Why're you here?'
Albert frowned again.
'I caused the end of the world'
'Ouch… Harsh… I'm here for impersonating a doctor'
'Why would you do that?'
'Heh' Adam laughed. 'It's a long story, but… Have you ever felt like you've always wanted to be something, but your dreams are all ruined by one wrong decision you made?'
A few moments of silence.
'Yeah… I have…'
'Same here. I've always wanted to be a doctor. I studies as hard as I could! I even took a few years of high school for one! Finished medical school in less than 3 years! And then… I panicked on my first solo surgery, and my patient died because of me'
'That's… unfortunate'
'Wow, understatement of the year!' Adam laughed. 'I got my medical license revoked, as I was dubbed "Too dangerous to operate". After all, I did have a 100% fatality rate… So I got determined. I wanted to save lives. And one night, my luck struck me. I happened to find this old guy in an alley. He was all torn up – knife wounds, bullet holes, etc. His cash and cards were stolen, as was his jewelry'
'Yeah… dangerous streets…'
'Yeah… Tried to save him, but couldn't. But then… he saw my passion. He saw that even though I was panicked, I… I desperately wanted to save his life'
'Didn't you call an ambulance?'
'I did, but it wouldn't come, for some reason! He… He knew he wouldn't make it. Asked me to stop the procedure and tell him about myself. I… briefly explained what I told you. And it turned out we had a lot in common. We were both called Adam, and were neurologists, except he was some kind of big shot, and I… had failed my first surgery. With his last breath, he told me to take the keys to his house and his ID. He had no kids, and… He wanted me to continue his legacy'
'So you became him?'
'Yeah. I've got a friend that's a great forger, so I made myself a brand new ID card…'
'Weren't you afraid you'd be caught?'
'Yeah, I was, but… I decided I couldn't disappoint Dr. Bertrand… or myself…'
Wesker sighed.
'You did a good thing. You did all this just to save lives'
'Yeah. It was worth it, alright! And what about you? What's your life story?'
Wesker smiled to himself.
'Maybe… another time'
'Well, as you wish'
'I think… I'm going to take a nap' Wesker said.
'Wow, was my story really that bad?' Adam laughed.
Albert just smiled a little himself.
'Whatever happens… don't wake me up… alright?'
'As you wish, cellmate!'
