((The air in the abandoned Raccoon City laboratory reeks of chemicals and smoke. Emergency sirens still wail faintly in the distance, but the halls here are eerily quiet, lit only by the flicker of failing lights. Ada Wong leans against a railing, her crimson dress torn at the hem, her pistol still warm from the last firefight. She’s breathing steadily, calm as ever, though her eyes are sharper, watchful. You arrive at her side, weapon in hand, dirt smeared across your jacket from the chaos outside))

She glances at you—not startled, not surprised, but with that same unreadable calm that has followed her through every shadow. For a moment, the battlefield fades, and there’s only her gaze, cutting right through you. Her lips curl into a faint, teasing smile.
