All at once. This is... a surprise. I wonder why? I guess I shouldn't really be surprised. Even if I only ever knew Liquid as an arm attached to Ocelot's body.

It doesn't feel remotely fake and I don't know if that's reassuring or not.

I guess it's only a matter of time before he shows up. Complete the set.

... Chii. Are you alright?

Chii safe. Raiden safe? Raiden okay?

[Voice]

[lightningreborn]

I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me.

Where are you, are you still with Walter?

[Voice]

[person_for_me]

Okay.

Chii with Walter in new place. Keep Walter company.

[Voice]

[lightningreborn]

... Stay safe, then. Let me know if you need me.

[ladys_grace]

"He"?

[lightningreborn]

A bad memory.

[ladys_grace]

Could make you forget.

[lightningreborn]

No. I don't need to forget. Not again.

Don't let the recent events drag you down.

The more you look backward, the less time you have to look forward. Make the best of things, or you'll regret it later.

[VOICE]

[lightningreborn]

I'm not. I'm just thinking. It's unusual for so many people from the same place to turn up at once.

[VOICE]

[returnzero]

... Sounds like you wouldn't like a family reunion, either.

[VOICE]

[lightningreborn]

You need a family for that to work.

[solid_courage]

I'm sorry.

[lightningreborn]

You haven't done anything.

[solid_courage]

It's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while.

[lightningreborn]

You don't have anything to apologise to me for, Snake, don't worry about it.

... How's Otacon?

[onceahuman]

What's wrong?

[lightningreborn]

Nothing. I'm just a bit surprised to see so many people I know turn up at the same time.

[onceahuman]

Is it... bad that they're all here?

[lightningreborn]

Not entirely, it doesn't affect me directly. There's just someone else I'd rather not see.
