[ It's definitely disturbing, the sort of thing that makes you want to look over your shoulder no matter where you go. Granted, Snake had already been doing that, but this makes the rightful paranoia about ten times worse. All of it feels theoretical or faraway in the moment, though. That's something that can be dealt with whenever he gets back home. Snake doesn't question the way that he isn't as worked up by it as he would be normally.
