[If one were to look closely at the video feed, they might notice some blond stubble on the man's face and a look of discomfort.]

So what do I have to do to get a razor around here?

[He's about to turn the video off, but he seems to change his mind at the last second.]

It's sort of an emergency.

Thanks.

I suppose. In a way. [He wasn't really his father, but since he was supposed to be his double, didn't that mean he got everything from Big Boss too? So, technically, it worked out that way.]

I... be a soldier anyway? It's hard to imagine life without any of this. Even as a child I knew my life was supposed to be like this. [He's really, really not sure.]

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah, I know how that feels. I wouldn't know what to do with my life without being a soldier.

[Because what else could there be for him?]

...Really messed us up, hasn't it? I mean, I never had that period of my life where I go "I want to be a doctor" or "I want to be an astronaut." It's just always been... this.

[He waves vaguely. Ah, complicated.]

[cardboard_boss]

Messed up? Yeah, you could say that. I'm not even the man I thought I was until I got told the truth. [That was some pretty powerful shit right there.]

[saveyourserpent]

Well, I thought you were the man you thought you were too. But I'd suspect it'd be a lot worse when it turns out you're not actually yourself. How are you holding up?

[cardboard_boss]

Not bad. I'm doing alright. [Which was how he always dealt with things.]

[saveyourserpent]

Guess it could be worse then. Personally, I'd probably end up having a fit.
