"No need for apology, though I appreciate the kindness that inspired it," Wesker or Locrian replies. "He made me what I am become. I suppose I'm grateful for that much, though it took coming to Deerington for me to realize I could take charge of my story, even if the early chapters can't be rewritten."

"Thank you, though. This place is - strange, in a lot of ways, but so far it's been kind to us. We have a house? And a garden." By the sound of it he's still sort of processing that fact. "Not much grows here? But it's ours, and I'm sure we can figure something out."
