Snake lights a cigarette. The smoke curls toward a cracked ceiling. "Because if I go into that microwave tunnel humming that beat, I'm gonna laugh. And if I laugh, I die."

Snake freezes. His eye twitches.
"Octo-camo on my back, blendin' with the sorrow / Drebin says 'buy more,' I tell him, 'borrow, borrow, borrow' / Raiden rollin' with a sword, no jaw, all edge / I'm old, I'm gray, one more cigarette on the ledge."
