Snake stopped walking, and turned to look at Liquid.

"If you want to break away from your destiny, Liquid, then walk away. Walk away from it. Your genes don't determine who you are, it's your will that decides that. If you can't break away from it yourself, then stop blaming it on something like fighting..."

He shook his head, "I've seen people die too many times in worthless battles... If you're my shadow, then I'd rather not fight with you. I'd rather walk with my shadow by my side."
