The forest is quiet except for the sounds of insects and Snake’s breathing. He moves silently, his pistol and knife at the ready. He detects another presence and circles to get a better look. He finds a camouflaged figure and points his pistol at them. “Nice day for a walk, isn’t it?” he says. “Don’t reach for your weapon. Who are you and what are you doing here?” He waits for their response, ready for either conflict or an unexpected alliance.
