Snake? SNAKE?!

C'mon, answer me. ANSWER ME! I KNOW YOU'RE NOT--

[There's a pause. It sounds like something is banging against something metallic]

You can't. You can't, you can't, you can't-

[There's a distinct sound of sobbing now through the post]

S-SNAKE!--

[The transmission is suddenly cut]

He'll be back. But.. I don't think he'd wanna hear you like that. Giving up, I mean.

...W-What do you mean..?

Sonic, he's.. he's my best friend. I'm supposed to know him better- I'm supposed to watch his back.

I failed.

This wasn't your fault, buddy. Trust me on this.

People in this city... They don't stay dead. You die, you come back the next day. I think it's pretty low, because people should try their best to stay alive no matter what. But if you don't get that chance... Then maybe coming back is a good thing, especially to those who miss you.

Ehh.. What I wanna say here is... You're gonna get a chance to say hello and goodbye to Snake. 'Cause people are going to go and save him. But from what I know of that dude, even though we don't talk a lot, he's hardly the guy who'd want people crying for him, right?

It'll be okay.

...Jack said the same thing..

[There's a pause, and it sounds like there's some sniffling in the background]

He's.. really coming back, then?

Yeah- Yeah. I guess you're right.

Sorry.

He'll be back. So chin up! What we need most of all in this place is for people to stay strong, no matter what! I know you can do it, Otacon!

Don't apologize to me. There's no need!
