[ It's not as if Snake's forgotten the details that Mantis gave him during his dying moments. That his father had hated him, and that his fear had led him to lash out, taking his whole village out in the process. It would figure that if a parent hated you that much, they'd never really bother with a name.
Mantis had compared them, Snake remembered, both of them committers of patricide. Looking at him now, Snake can't say that he feels like they're similar at all, but he hadn't wanted to argue with a dying man.
At the question which drifts through his mind, Snake blinks and then lifts one shoulder, barely even a shrug. It occurs to him how strange this scene between him and Tretij would look to someone passing by, but they seem to be relatively alone. He figures Tretij would sense if someone were coming, anyway. ]
Call me Snake. [ A pause, and he sighs. ] Though I guess you already know one of those.
