Ocelot. What's your situation?

[Ocelot's voice sounded odd. Was he alright?]

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

[The car's clock wasn't on, but he could see the time in his mind. Just a few minutes until sirens. Not enough time for anyone to get to him, much less move him to a safe location. The streets were already quiet.]

...

I'm stuck.

Voice / Private

[ysobritish]

Where are you? I'll come get you.

[Liquid neither noticed the time, nor cared. Ocelot was one of his men, dammit.]

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

You can't, Liquid. I'm miles away... some idiot hit me... I can't get out of the car.

So just shut up and listen.

Voice / Private

[ysobritish]

...shit.

[But he'll be back soon if he dies, right? Otacon came back.]

What is it?

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

[He paused... unsure of how much he wanted to tell him.]

...I didn't want it... like this. Nothing as pathetic and unimportant as this.

[He sighed deeply.]

I wanted you or Snake to kill me.

Voice / Private

[ysobritish]

...Ocelot, you're talking like you're not coming back.

[His free hand is curled into a fist.]

Stop talking like it's final. Otacon came back. You're going to come back too... right?

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

Probably.

Even Big Boss came back... once...

Doesn't mean death is a light thing. [All the ghosts he's seen...]

It's just... supposed to mean something.

Voice / Private

[ysobritish]

...

It does.

Goddammit.

Of all the ridiculous things...

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

[The sirens start to wail. Ocelot goes silent, but for the slight rustle of clothes, and the click of a revolver.]

...I'll see you again somehow, Liquid.

Voice / Private

[ysobritish]

...

I'll be waiting for you, Major. Don't let me down.

[His voice is quiet.]

Voice / Private

[fancy_shooting]

...

[Ocelot shuts the NV off. He doesn't want Liquid to hear him anymore now.]
