"Laughing Octopus cryin' on the inside, we alike / Raging Raven in the sky, I'm too tired to fight / Crying Wolf in the snow, sniper wolf déjà vu / Vamp flippin' on the ceiling, what that neck taste like? Pfft, screw you."
Then the outro. A sampled voice—Big Boss, maybe, or The Boss—whispers over a fading synth:
Snake almost smiles. Almost.
It’s a rap file. Someone—Otacon, probably, in one of his “we need to keep your morale up” interventions—has commissioned a Metal Gear Solid 4 theme song. And it’s terrible. And perfect.
"...So you liked the hook?"
Snake crushes the MP3 player under his heel.
He keys his codec. "Otacon."
Long pause.
