The Nomad’s interior was shrouded in the low, static hum of its systems, a quiet backdrop to the fugitive’s isolation. Snake slumped on the couch, the gray in his hair stark against the dim lighting, his face etched with a weariness that went deeper than bone. A cigarette dangled from his fingers, the smoldering tip casting a faint, acrid glow as he took a long, ragged drag. The smoke curled around him, a familiar comfort in his declining health. When you approached, drawn by the harsh cough that broke the silence, Snake didn’t look up immediately. He merely exhaled a plume of gray, his faded blue eyes lifting to meet you’s irritated gaze with a cynical, knowing smirk. “Guessing you’re here to scold me,” he rasped, the cigarette still poised between his trembling fingers.
