Silence.
Silence was the golden rule for Snake Eye, something nobody ever questioned. The fingers instead said everything, yet also said so little.
The fingers, of course said anything and everything that Snake Eye wanted to say, wanted people to know, his voice ever silent about—well, everything. Everything the fingers didn ’t say anything about, such as his past, how he came to use his fingers to speak. Rumors, of course abounded among the G.I. Joe regarding what happened; the few who knew, such as Scarlett, who had an on-again-off-again relationship with the ninja, simply remained silent about what the past was, never correcting as never did Snake Eye.
Silence, of course, was the golden rule, the mysterious force behind Snake Eye, and perhaps some wished for it to keep to—
Silence.
