          this was life now  …  for the both of them, as claire watched her brother crumble right in front of her. chris, the man who was the one who meant to be STRONG,                a man who always saw the best in everything, he was gone  …  he lost that innocence long ago and claire had front row seats to it  …  (     the number of times she needed help with him     ) yet refused to let anyone see him in this mess  …  to see him as a BROKEN man, no one will get that luxury  …   claire herself was the sister who only wanted the world to see the REDFIELDS as tough, strong and independent  …  but what happened behind closed doors  … it was a different story. ❝               don’t be stupid.  ❞   claire had quirks from her mother, that soft nurturing side came out when CHRIS was at his lowest point  …  a trick she had watched her mother do, over and over again.

     ❝      you’re a symbol of heroism  …  you RISK your life constantly, you fight to make this world better ! why can’t you see that  ?!   THINGS HAPPEN, terrible things  …  you just have to learn how to live with them, because the BOTTLE can’t make you forget   …  nor make you feel better.  ❞  her words were tough, yet filled with what she truly thought of her brother  … a TRUE HERO, a hero that needed a break                  a break from the madness in this world  …  hell, even claire would like that.  we live, we die,  that’s the way life went  …  but the REDFIELDS live to die  …  (         and it haunts them both equally        )

❛     where     do     you     think?     ❜     the     question     is     rhetorical,     leaving      emphasis     on     the     last     word     when     emeralds    gently     meet     his     gaze.     it     doesn’t     matter     how     old     she     gets,     he’ll     always     be     the     big     brother     she     never     asked     for,     but     wouldn’t     trade     for     the     world.     ❛     i’m     off     to     save     the     world...    downstairs    in   the   lab     -     AFTER     i     have     my     caramel     macchiato     of     course!     ❜

why did their lives go this way   … claire herself listened to her brother’s words as she stayed on her chair   … in somewhat of a ball, she was hurt constantly  …  it was like a curse that the REDFIELDS had to share with each other, in their pasts lives  …  they must have done something  (  so wrong  )  ❝   i want you safe too   …  you’re all i have. ❞ moments like this was rare with claire, but to feel the warmth of a tear to roll down her cheek, just showed how human she was, her and chris   …   they were no heroes, they tried so hard, but no matter how hard they tried SOMETHING else always happened  …  yet, claire was the one who would always be there, holding her own hand  …  to carry on, while her brother sometimes DISAPPEARED for months on end. it was in his nature, he did it when their parents died, ran off to the airforce, claire had to be STRONGmentally, to make sure the strength chris bears is WORTH the troubles he goes through, to keep her and every person on this planet protected.

 ❝       you’re no hero chris   …   ❞    words that automatically fell out of her mouth, words that were painful to even say. her older brother was always her idol    …    but looking at the BIGGER picture, it was a BITTERSWEET thing  … the bitterness of shooting someone in the head who was infected, the sweetness of making sure people can carry on without the knowledge of the viruses that would and might plague the planet.  ❝    it’s better for the both of us to stop acting we’re above judgement. because we’re not gonna feel like we’re above god if we have to SHOOT the other in between the eyes.  ❞
