Thinking about how Jake was taught to respect his father even if he was also never even told what Wesker’s name was and was let to believe that Wesker was just some deadbeat. Thinking about how Jake was 14-15 when he had to drop out of school and become a mercenary to support his sick mother in 2007. Thinking about how by 2009 (the same year Wesker died), Jake’s mom was probably already dead because he was all the way in the South American jungle, getting BETRAYED and almost stabbed to death because his own trainer, the man he’d grown to see as a father figure, sold out his unit to the enemy and everyone except Jake died. Thinking about how despite having never met Wesker and thinking of him as a deadbeat, Jake gets so upset about Chris confessing to murdering him that he almost shoots him. Thinking about how when he finally calms down from that, during the fight alongside Chris and Piers, he lets Chris know that he wants to know more about his father. Thinking about how, as far as the game shows, he doesn’t get to have that conversation with Chris and instead all he knows is from the time on the laboratory in China, and the conclusion he reaches from that is that his father was “A freakin’ nutjob who almost destroyed the world.” and that “Crazy runs in the family.”
