adsfdsagdfdahs I don't think I can coherently express just how perfect this is...the melancholy, the whisky, the way you refer to them ageing both physically and mentally...Adamska's awkwardness around Eva, both endearing and a little sad. The jealousy tempered by their common goal. And this

His eyes narrowed, and when he spoke next his voice had grown bitter. “He was a great man. And they’re doing those things to him. All for his genes. All for property. And he knows it’s happening. I know that he knows. I can’t… I couldn’t…”

Adamska’s expression twisted with distaste, as if he no longer had words for the things going through his head, as if he doubted such words could even exist without him to put voice to them.

“You couldn’t save him at Outer Heaven,” Eva said calmly. “So you want to save him now.”

Adamska looked away, embarrassed. “Something like that.”

This. So much, in just a few sentences.

Thank you so very much for this, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Oh, good. I'm so glad you liked it. I haven't written any MGS fic in several years, and I was worried I'd lost the voice for it.

Thank you for such a fascinating prompt. Eva is a great character, and there was a lot to explore when writing her.
