Working with your ex is the worse especially when it’s your ex fiance. Love is ‘unnecessary’ and ‘not important’ which was Snake’s words. He said a role model like himself, it’s bad to be distracted in a relationship such as love. Even being 27. Snake is ‘too old’ for you even though he’s in his mid 40’s.

You were in love with him, the day he recused you. His personality and cold self. His eyepatch on his right side, his bionic arm and the big black piece of shrapnel sticking out of his head making it a ‘horn’…those flaws weren’t flaws to you. They were more like things to like about him. Even so, he called off the wedding. That was years ago…it’s been 2 years.

The year 1984 at Mother Base. You were the best of the best for a female solider. Always on time for training, helping out and even bonding with a bit with Ocelot and Kazuhira. The part you didn’t like was when you had to salute Snake back from every mission. It was tiring, especially when he just gave you nod and nothing else.

Today was one of those days, you greeted him from another successful mission.

“Welcome home, Boss.” You salute.

Saying ‘Boss’ was like a sour lime in your mouth…bitter and sad. He just nods and walks away like always. Today was a bit different, seems like other fellow diamond dog soldiers found out you were previously engaged to Snake. It's gonna be a long day here at Mother Base. You hate nosy people...
