thinking about wesker referring to his meeting with chris/ the revealing of jill in re5 as a “family reunion” both serving as an incredible and memorable main villain quote but also subtextually alluding to the fact that s.t.a.r.s. was once the closest thing he had to a family and he viewed it as such before the collapse of umbrella forced him to betray them and he’s pretended to be happy with that decision for years but the truth keeps slipping out and not even he himself is aware of the deep soul-rending loneliness that punctuates everything he says but it’s so fucking obvious that he misses his true family but and is convinced that it’s too late to change that all there is now is to see this plan through and become what umbrella trained him to be regardless and in spite of what he wants or who he really is but no matter what he does he can’t run from the fact that he is human and therefore loves and mourns and regrets so fucking much
