[Snake was standing on the rooftops, staring up at the sky. For unknown reasons, it was raining. He couldn't logically get his head around that, since weather didn't seem to exist here, but he could feel the cold wetness dampen his body, soaking his hair. It was very real to him. He had a lot on his mind, due to things that had happened as of late, and people he had spoken to had adjusted his mind set in such a way that he was thinking a lot more deeply than he ever had before.]
[The way Snake had been feeling and acting the days that had recently passed were not to be tolerated. He was a soldier, but at the same time, a soldier should be able to recognise their weaknesses. Snake knew he found it difficult being able to comprehend that people actually cared about him, genuinely. But with so many individuals tarnishing his hope and faith in humanity, how was he supposed to make sense of it, or believe in a genuine love?]
[He trusted 'himself'. Snakes seemed to make the most sense to him, even if he didn't want to hear some of the things they had to say. They knew better than anyone how it felt.]
[And then there was Otacon... He had no clue how to feel about him. And if he dared himself to think about what happened, or what might come of it, it only made him feel even worse about himself, so he kept his mind from delving in that direction.]
[The one thing he did know was that, despite how much he hated doing so, there was a certain someone he had to make an apology to.]
[Big Mama's words had gotten to him yesterday, in a way that he hadn't felt before. Perhaps it was the fact that she was his mother, and would always have a small controlling part of his heart and his mind. The things she had said had deeply affected Snake. He had needed time to think things through, but that didn't excuse the way he had reacted to her.]
[He had left a note on her door in the hope that she would come and find him.]
