Let's talk hypotheticals.

You're crossing a suspension bridge. You have to reach the other side at any cost. The bridge is wide enough only for one person to pass at a time.

A man approaches from the other side with a gun. How do you cross?

We don't have all the answers.

[i don't have all the answers.]

Is pragmatism really worth it in the end? Or is that just a lie we live with?

[did i do everything i could? should i have been less logical? should i be more loyal to my own feelings?]

Who are you asking?

[ Had Big Boss struggled with these thoughts in the time leading up to Outer Heaven? Or it learning about all those events that has put him in this mood? Snake can't begin to guess. He thought he'd known this man, but now he may as well be a giant question mark to him. ]

Why? You think you have the answer for it?

[anyone can answer the question, give him some ideological solution that makes him a dead saint or a living demon. but there's no such thing as black and white, right or wrong, there's just the decision you make in the moment and what comes after.]

[ No, that's not what he meant. Snake sighs to himself before quickly typing a reply. ]

My point is that it seems like this is something you have to answer for yourself. It's not going to help hearing it from anyone else.

[ It might not be easy, struggling with these kinds of philosophical questions, especially with the lives they've led. But this doesn't really seem like the right way to cope with it. ]

[it was more a rhetorical question anyway. he knows no one has any answers for him, including himself.]

We've gotten off track.

['we're playing too close to the chest and i'm just gonna shut this down right now']

This isn't about me. If you don't want to answer the scenario, we don't really have anything else to discuss.
