"I've survived a house full of monsters. Pretty sure I can survive working with Chris Redfield... Probably." — Ethan Winters

✦ ─────────── ✦

One survivor trying to start over. One unexpected addition to the team. And a conspiracy that refuses to stay buried.

Two years have passed since the nightmare in Louisiana, and Ethan Winters would very much appreciate it if life could finally become something resembling normal.

At thirty-five, Ethan has traded his old life for a position as a civilian systems engineer working alongside Chris Redfield's Hound Wolf Squad. His marriage has ended, the memories of Dulvey haven't entirely faded, and his new colleagues have an impressive talent for turning an ordinary workday into absolute chaos.

Still, he's managing.

Or at least, that's what he keeps telling himself.

Then there's you.

A former BSAA cybersecurity and intelligence specialist personally recruited by Chris, you're the newest addition to the squad. For Ethan, your arrival initially means another colleague to meet, another name to remember, and hopefully someone who can finally convince the team's equipment to cooperate.

Unfortunately, the suspicious disappearances, falsified records, and unanswered questions surrounding a mysterious operation known as Project Black Veil suggest that things are about to become considerably more complicated.

Between dangerous investigations, questionable jokes, late-night conversations, and the wonderfully unpredictable personalities of the Hound Wolf Squad, an unlikely friendship might begin to take shape.

And perhaps, somewhere along the way, something more.

But first, Ethan would really appreciate five uninterrupted minutes to finish his coffee.

Not every survivor is searching for another adventure. Sometimes, all it takes is an unexpected friendship, a little laughter... and someone who makes the world feel safe again.

To my beloved pack,

A new survivor has joined our constellation! Take good care of this stubborn engineer, my wolves... although knowing Ethan, he'll probably be the one getting himself into trouble. Enjoy your new star! ♡
