[Not long after his 'discussion' with the Queen, Wesker is sent back over to the real side, his mirror returning to the appropriate side. Except his room is not how it should be. The walls, ceiling, and furniture are all blackened. The floor is covered in a fine layer of ash

She's waiting to catch his eye.
When he finally notices her, she can barely squeak out a quiet greeting.]
Welcome back.

I'm sorry about your room.

After a few moments, he is able to do so.]
You have nothing to apologize for.
[Taking off the sunglasses with one hand, he rubs his face with the other.]
I am just baffled as to why someone would do such a thing.

[Her eyebrows knit together.]
Are you okay? Was the mirrorside... agreeable?
Reply
Yes, I am fine. I was able to speak with the Queen, and as I had originally thought, she was hardly cooperative.
[And then it once again occurs to him that his mirror had been living his life. We bid you hello, grimace.]
And what of this side while I was gone?
Reply
It was fine, I guess... No one knew... I didn't know he wasn't you, at first.
[Her eyes begin to glitter ever so slightly.]

But then he remembers what Bren told him while he was on the other side. And if he was to be convincing, he needed to take her advice in matters concerning relationships and the like.
Taking another deep breath, he walks over to her and pulls her from the doorway, closing the door with his other hand.]
You have no reason to feel as you do regarding the switch. Like all events, it was a result of Wonderland and the mansion.

I know it was Wonderland doing it, but... I still feel like I cheated on you. I know we hadn't discussed if we were exclusive.... and usually I don't worry about it... but I... I still... Feel awful about it.
[The tears break and begin to slide down her cheeks.]
You don't deserve such infidelity. I'm sorry.

And as far as what I deserve? I believe that is my decision to make.
[Remembering what she had said about gifts during the chess game, he walks over to the closet and retrieves two items.
Walking back over to her, he holds out a cut red rose in...what is that? A flask?]
Reply
That's... so sweet.
[She takes the flask and examines it through her foggy eyes.]
It's a red rose because those symbolize passionate feelings, and it's in a flask instead of a vase because of that first night we spent together, when I was smashing your glassware. Right?
Reply
It seems I am not completely unaware regarding aspects of our relationship.
[And all he can do is chuckle at her observation of the rose in the flask. And, of course, a nod follows.]
You are always so analytical. But yes, you are correct in your observations.
[He simply watches her, soft smile on his face.]
Reply
This is so thoughtful. Thank you.
[Finally, she can't contain herself. A sob bursts from her lips, and she buries her face in his chest.]
Reply
And so he wraps his arms around her, resting his chin on her head.]
I'm somewhat confused by your reaction...
Reply
[Yeah, she's not so good with emotional stuff.
She lifts her head and rests her chin on his chest with a sigh.]
I'm glad you're back. I... missed your eyes.
Reply
And then she mentions his eyes.]
And I would have to say that I am glad to be back on this side, as well.
[He chuckles as he removes one arm from her and slowly lifts her chin so their eyes meet.] My eyes?
