They found their way to the girl's room, partly because Ocarina Lioness lead them. She seemed to know where she was going. Snake suddenly stopped in front of the door. He looked a bit weirder than usual.

"What is it?"Melody asked him quickly on the codec.
"Go on without me."Snake answered, turning away.
"What?"
"I said go."

Shrugging, she went inside. Lioness was in a stall and suprisingly everything was quiet.

"Moyra what's wrong?"Melody asked expecting only a gaze from her.
"Nothing is. I'm just trying to keep quiet."she said.
Moyra got to the mirror and looked at herself. She looked at the glass blankly."I've just worried you, haven't I?"
"Maybe you could say that."Melody stared at the ceiling.
"Oh, well...,"Moyra laid her eyes on the floor."I really haven't seen... Oh, heck, never mind."
"What?... Who?"
"Nothing you have to worry about..."She wanted to say more, but Melody held her questions back."Where did Snake go?"
"Let's just say he's out there."Melody pointed to the door.

She pushed herself against a wall and forced a smile at Melody. At least Moyra said a word, or a few. Then she looked glanced at the mirror, but looked quickly at herself again. She felt diferent. Sometimes, she would see fragments of how she got here. And none of them would make any sense. Everything was changed somehow. At that point, she felt like someonoe else.

Ocarina Lioness rushed out of the stall in some khakis and a blue shirt. Yet, she had some full pockets and a socom at her side. She had some clothing around her arms and gloves. Her golden hair embraced her shoulders as she moved to the sink to fix it again. Afterwards, she sighed in relief and walked out the door. The other two followed transiently. Once they got out, Snake, as expected, was there.

"Done already?"Snake asked, examining Lioness from head to toe.

She was on the verge of saying something, but she just turned and walked away. Snake chuckled a bit, and tagged along. After a confused glance at each other, Moyra and Melody walked behind.

Afterwards, they headed for the bridge. Moyra was a bit more open with herself now, and she smiled more than she could talk. They reached the bridge after some time. It seemed to be headed to no where. And no one was there. Though, whoever was there, wasn't alive. Lioness made some arrangements on the control panel. Somehow, a sentry saw them. Hopefully, Snake and Ocarina had did whatever they had needed to. They all ran into some lockers. Snake had to hide in a box. As predicted, they just passed it by. Melody's heart raced through her body.

"Are you going to be ok?"asked Lioness after she saw her out a hand to her head.
"Yes,"Melody said with a headache."I'll be fine."
"You sure? We're almost done here anyway."
"'We're'?"
"C'mon. Let's go. They might take more caution since they saw us onboard."

Melody staggered to her feet and went along as planned. When was it going to be over exactly? She wanted to know.
