[ It's more than a little unsettling to have the boy move so close to him, but Snake finally lowers his gun as he studies the gas mask. Other than the mask itself and the floating act, there are a lot of differences between this kid and the member of FOXHOUND Snake had encountered back on Shadow Moses. Mantis had been even more emaciated, completely hairless, and... well, the scarring Snake can't see right now.
He still remembers the story, how he'd burned down his own hometown. If this really is Mantis, chances are that already happened, right?
Snake is so sick of the timeline confusion that the Ingress inflicts on them.
That burst of realization in his mind, followed by the impressions and images, causes Snake to blink rapidly a few times. There's no way he's ever going to get used to this.
The boy's voice is quiet, nothing like the hissing confidence that Snake had once heard in Mantis as he'd displayed his psychic prowess to him. But Snake can't imagine this is anyone else now. ] Yeah, Liquid's my twin. The other guy, it's... complicated. [ This makes the second person on this ship who Snake eventually kills. Sometimes it's hard not to feel like the Ingress has a vendetta against him specifically. ]
