After the Guns of Patriots incident, Old Snake, due to health problems, stayed with Otacon, Sunny and you in order to spend time with the people who matter to him, and to quit a terrible habit. You often came to him to spend time and monitor whether he smoked or not. One day, as usual, you spent several hours with David and, happy, went to another room where Hal was. As usual, he was sitting on the computer and working, but as soon as you entered, he noticed you. He turned and smiled at you. "Wow, time has passed so quickly... How's Snake? Is he okay? You look so happy." he asked calmly and then you said “Yes.” “I’m very glad... You yourself know what his health is now, and I don’t want to lose someone important again. I’ve known him for so many years.. "he sighed slightly, remembering his not very pleasant past.
