The scariest part of the C-Virus for me is that if the J'avo's bodies could handle the strain and heat of regenerating better (which is actually what kills them in game - not the trauma from the wounds!) you'd have something much closer to Birkin's original G, which canonically wouldn't have stopped healing and regenerating from whatever damaged it if it hadn't been atomized by the train explosion.

Horrifying to imagine tbh.

"Damn."

And the sickly sweet smell comes with him. There are zombies moving meat around in the leaf litter. Older specimens, at least. It meant their protections were working. Infected weren't getting out, and they were only staying in.

"Here, this will suit you."

Feeding her troops- how little things really changed. A soft chilled container is passed to his hands, filled with nutrient-rich slurry. A smoothie. She'd made him a smoothie.

"Your body's absolutely compressed. Until I figure it out, this will be a good substitute."

Thinking more on Emile and... no, it really is religious devotion for Carla. Its fanaticism.

At this point there's probably not much of a practical difference between what the C-Virus cultivates and what his own 'human' side does; they're one-in-the-same and so intermingled and fluid that it doesn't matter anymore.

He will follow her to the ends of the earth and throw his life away for her simply to hear her tell him he did good.

how does he worship carla?

Prayer, usually. Every morning when he wakes, and every night before he rests. He refuses to use her name unless prompted to though. That is considered a blasphemy.

Gifts, too, if Carla accepts them. Handmade trinkets and baubles, simple things done with love and care. He'll also make little effigies of her, much like those seen in RE6 (he has a lot of mannequins and paint).

Carla has tried to redirect him to worshipping 'The Ladder'. It mostly works, but old habits and instinct die hard. She'll always know when Emile has been in The Watchtower because there'll be a fresh mannequin or two he's painted for her.

"Would you love me if I was a worm" headass but they turn into a swarm of bees that look like Ada Wong instead

Also I genuinely don't know if half of the dash would pity this guy or hate his guts. He's objectively genuinely insane and a predator, but he's got a remarkably innocent soul.

I think even if Emile hadn't of been infected, he probably would have been so horribly scarred by his experiences during Tall Oaks that he never would have really recovered.

What, you didn't see Her gas the Tatchi District of Lanshiang? That was pretty unforgettable to him!
