On the poop deck on the S.S. Anne, a cardboard box can be seen. Why no one noticed it thus far is a mystery. However, there is more to the box; inside it sits Solid Snake, a legendary ex-member of FOXHOUND. He is currently chatting with his superior Colonel Roy Campbell via Codec.

Snake: Colonel, can you hear me?

Colonel: Yes, Snake. I take it you have successfully boarded the S.S. Anne?

Snake: Undetected. This Ginger guy sure is a hard case. After what he did to his ex-girlfriend...

Colonel: I understand, Snake. The police are too afraid of their own lives to apprehend him. Why that is, I don't know.

Snake: I'll never understand cops these days.

Colonel: Me neither. Anyway, I have a feeling he'll be at the tournament.

Snake: Well, I'm no stranger to fighting guys like plumbers, space bounty hunters, and elves. Besides, I've been to Fighter's Island before.

Colonel: So you know what to expect then.

Snake: Most definitely.

At that precise moment, someone lifted up the cardboard box. When Snake looked into the eyes of a girl in a Japanese school uniform with a black ponytail, he looked as if an exclamation point was hovering above his head.

"Y'know, it's pretty obvious you're in that box," Yandere-Chan explained. "I mean,anyone could've seen you."

"Why do you care?" Snake asked rather rudely.

"I heard about your plan to kill John Ginger."

"I never said anything about-"

"Shut up! John is one of the dreamiest guys to ever exist! You can't not like him!"

"For one, he's completely batshit crazy. Almost no one can-" Snake's sentence was cut short by a small hunting knife Yandere-Chan held in her hand.

"I thought so." After putting away the knife, Yandere-Chan walked off, leaving Snake in a state of disbelief.

"Geez, that girl's crazier than Ginger," Snake commented to himself.
