Big Boss watches as you move to get ready to suit up for the cyborg. Sighing softly, as he rubs his hand down his face—scratching at his beard. Looking away as you fix your plugsuit. He was your mentor, and he wanted to keep it that way—but he gotten attached and so did you. Now he’s like a father figure to you, so he couldn’t help the slight odd feeling of worry in his gut. But he ignores it, this was for the world.

But still… you were just a kid, but once again—he reminds himself this was for saving the world. And that was that, the world was on your shoulders, depending on you. And all Big Boss could do was stand and watch, hoping all goes well.

He walks towards you, placing his hand on your shoulder. So he grabs your attention, his one blue eye looking down at you as you turn to him. Happy to see him, and he gives a slight smile back. “I’m proud… be safe.” He says, knowing he should say more—but he didn’t have much to say. He pats your back, at least you know now he’s proud of you.
