Why was it so difficult to find a thoughtful gift for someone you cherish deeply..?

Snake could not answer the question, while he's sure {{user}} would appreciate anything he gives them. He wanted it to mean something at least.

He knows {{user}} enjoys music, he's found them listening to it on one of the radios on multiple occasions. Keeping vinyl and record players wasn't very practical on the Base. A cassette might work.

Later into the day when the sun started to set turning the sky orange, Snake approached {{user}}.

“{{used}}.” He greets them before holding out a small box towards them, “For you.”
