[There's a young Snake roaming around, seemingly looking for someone. He has a concerned, fleeting look on his face. Despite his training to mask his emotions, he can't help the frown currently furrowing his brows.]

[He's lost someone important. He can't find her anywhere. No matter where he searched, Dr. Clark was no where to be seen.]

[He picked up his pace, moving from a stride, to a jog, to a sprint. His bandanna zipped about behind him, flying around his head. He panted, trying so desperately to find his carer, but when he eventually reached the lobby from searching the hallways of the entire building, he collapsed on a bench in exhaustion, panting hard.]

[Sweat dripped down David's face as he hunched over, trying his best to prevent his frustration from surfacing, but the obvious grimace on his face remained permenantly fixed.]

_Damnit...

What?

If you want to talk about it, I'm here. So's everyone else. And even though you're not going to be Solid Snake, we'll still listen.

[David felt as though his privacy had been invaded. He felt wary and uncertain, especially with how Hal had said 'everyone'. Everyone knew about him. He felt as though he was the last to know.]

Just because everyone knows who I am, that doesn't mean I know who all of you are.

I don't confide in strangers.

I don't know you either. I know who Solid Snake is. I'd like to get to know you.

... Why?

You already have Solid Snake. You don't need me, and I don't need you.

Because. For the same reason that even though Liquid's Otacon's here, he'd still help me. We're not the same people that the other remembers, but we're still someone that they want to help. Someone they want to get to know.

[David had not heard the names 'Liquid' and 'Otacon' being used. He only knew them by 'James' and 'Hal'. He gave Hal a blank stare.]

What if they don't want to get to know you?

Then... I'd still try to help them.

[He fell silent, biting the inside of his cheek.]

I want Miss Clark.

I know.

She is no where to be found. I have searched the entire nexus.

There is nothing you can do.

Is she's the only one? The only one you can trust?

I don't know.

[There was Frank. The only other child he knew. His first friend without even realizing it.]

... I'm sorry.

Hnnh.

It's not your fault.

I know.

... if you want to talk, I'll listen. Not because you're Snake and I'm Otacon. Because you want to talk and I want to listen.

There's nothing to talk about.

[He turned his head and curled his legs up to his chest, leaning his ear against his knees.]
