He held Frey in his arms for only a brief moment…
But in that fleeting instant, he concocted a plan—one born in mere seconds—and cast a shadow that would fall twenty years later.
He planted his shadow inside Frey, then hid it perfectly… until the right moment.
The Engineer turned to Frey, his expression grave.
"The awakening of that shadow inside you… You know what that means, don't you?"
Frey wasn't an idiot. He already understood where this conversation was heading.
"Whatever plan that Rank 4 Demon set into motion that day… It's finally begun, hasn't it?"
The future—the fate that Wesker wove through his King's Eye on that day—was finally beginning to unfold.
"There are many forces on the verge of colliding… and the reappearance of high-ranking demons is proof enough."
"Brace yourself, Frey Starlight. You will soon have to fight them—face to face."
Upon hearing that, Frey let out a forced chuckle.
