[It's an easy mistake to make. What people saw, outwardly, was Big Boss making Kaz behave. They saw his chases into the forest, his constant victories, his angry punches and demands. That's the display most people remember, and most likely what Venom can recall in his double vision. Not just those incidents, but the wounds afterwards.]
[What no one saw was those radio conversations. The ones where John admitted his confusions about Tselinoyarsk, bonded over their shared hatred of the results of war, the moments where Snake called him the best man to stand by his side. The feeling of belonging that Zero destroyed when they shared their final words.]
[Venom has assured him of his place, but that's different than telling him that he's been good at it.]
I miss bossing you around, so I guess we both make out like bandits.
[It's a good joke. He's a little disappointed those hands pulled away from him, but the brief spout of pride makes up for it.]
