RICHARD'S LETTER
Read aloud by sweetheart at joint Raccoon City Police Department funeral
To Bridgette
I think your appeals over me engaging in such a dangerous job are natural.
The duties of S.T.A.R.S. are always side-by-side with danger.
It is such an opportunity, and I will speak a bit seriously.
Bridgette...
Though I've spoke of it before, the incident with my younger sister is big to me.
In my childhood, I wasn't able to protect my younger sister.
A criminal with a gun was the opponent.
You have comforted me, saying there was nothing I could do.
At that time, in fear and hesitation, I couldn't do anything.
Even though my sister was killed in front of me, I couldn't move a single step.
I regret my failure to protect her, I felt powerless...
Only the feeling that I should have died instead of my sister remained.
That's why I wanted to have the power to protect others.
The power to protect by sister back then.
I will not hesitate anymore.
I will protect those important to me without fail.
For me, S.T.A.R.S. is the only way I'll be able to forgive myself.
I don't want to die for nothing.
I will not hesitate in protecting those important to me.
And I too, will survive by all means.
I promise.
Because above all, it's you I want to protect now.
I love you
Richard

ﾘﾁｬｰﾄﾞの手紙
合同ﾗｸｰﾝ市警葬で恋人が読み上げた
ﾌﾞﾘｼﾞｯﾄﾞへ
何故こんな危ない職につくのかという君の訴えは､当然のものだと思う｡
実際S.T.A.R.S.の任務は常に危険と隣りあわせだ｡
こんな機会だし､ちょっと真面目に話しておこう｡
ﾌﾞﾘｼﾞｯﾄﾞ...
以前にも話したけど､やはり妹の事件が､僕には大きいんだ｡
少年時代､僕は妹を守れなかった｡
銃を持った犯罪者が相手だ｡
君が慰めてくれたとおり､僕にできることはなかったかもしれない｡
ただその時､僕は恐怖と躊躇に､何も抗えなかった｡
妹が目の前で殺されたのに､一歩も動けなかったんだ｡
守れなかったくやしさ､無力感...
妹は､自分の身代わりに死んだという気持ちだけが残された｡
だからこそ､誰かを守る力になりたかった｡
あのときの妹を､守れるような力に｡
もう迷わない｡
大切なものを必ず守る｡
僕にとって､自分を許せる唯一の生き方が､S.T.A.R.S.なんだ｡
犬死にしたいわけじゃない｡
大切なものを守ることに躊躇しない｡
そして自分自身も必ず生き残る｡
約束する｡
僕が今､何よりも守りたいのは君だから｡
君を愛す
