The hallway was indeed clear when Snake and Otacon made their way out, and empty except a small group of- "Kids," said Otacon, not knowing why he was still surprised to see people no older than sixteen. He'd met more kids here in the last few days than adults, which shouldn't be surprising considering the source of most of the "characters" here.
